This wont end well...

It will work mixed with a little hydraulic fluid such as ASF41 but you don't really know what damage it's doing.

Plenty of blokes at work do it, even on modern diesel engines and I can't say I've ever heard of someones engine going pop.

Really!? :eek:

Jet fuel.... what sort of difference does that make to the drive?

You can't tell the difference to be honest, it just costs zero as fuel is free :p

Most people throw the odd tank of diesel in occasionally.

I'm actually genuinely shocked...

Serious question though, I have a problem where my car wont rev much past 2500 rpm. A jet turns at 10s of 1000s of rpm, so would putting jet fuel in my car fix my problem? :D

I doubt it, personally I think anyone running Jet fuel in a modern high pressure injection modern diesel is on a hiding to no where. Basic mechanical injection diesel like a 306 1.9d then yeah it's probably fine.

Ah, the old XUD9. Long may it live. lol

Really depends on what type of 'jet' fuel you are throwing in (in the UK kero is also used a heating fuel) and how modern the engine is.

IIRC jet fuel is usualy kerosene, addetised to MIL standards. I think anti-static is a biggy and anti-oxident if its for stockpiles. Not so usefull for on road engines.

Not so much detergent/dispersant which what you really want in a modern diesel to keep the injectors clean (once dirty its damn hard to get back to 0% power loss chemicaly). Also of the top of my head I forget the cetane number of kero.

Ah that makes sense... Not really knowing anything about aviation, I just assumed jet fuel was some highly volatile, highly explosive concoction.

I thought the poster in that thread had this sort of image in his head and was missing the point somewhat

My uncle used to run his citroen van on aviation fuel for a good few years, granted it was mechanical injection but he said it had no probelms, and it was free :)
