I regularly haul 140,000 gallons at a time of the stuff... sometimes I get lucky and can get some 'waste' fuel when they clean a tank out or send a refueling truck to maintenance.

I've burned it in many different diesel engines. Mixing it with regular diesel, some 2 stroke, WVO, or WMO, and it burns just fine.

JP-8 is highly refined kerosene, with three types of additives - antifreeze, corrosion inhibitor, and biocide. It does not jell or get crystals down to -47 degrees C, algae supposedly won't grow in it and the corrosion inhibitors helps to break gunk from the surfaces it contacts. The difference between it and Jet-A is in the strength and composition of those three additives. If burning it in a deuce, add some oil or Opti-Lube to increase lubricity.
