Jet-A diesel

[4104GA]

In my 29 years as a mechanic with delta we used jet a in all our diesel engines including
the 671 powered generators.  We never added anything to the fuel and never had fuel related engine problems.  I also used sump fuel drained

jet a from the delivery tanker in my pick up truck diesel engine with no  problems.

I am still experimenting with alternate fuels in my 671 to power m 4104

JP-8 is the Military designation for Jet A. JP-4 = Jet B.

JP-8 and Jet -A are not the same fuel. JP-8 is a very cold fuel it is used because it won't explode in the air if shot with and incendiary devise. We went thru this with the air force several years ago with there flight line generators. Pratt-whittney has been lobbying the air force to get rid of the JP-8 It adds another three hours maintenance  to every hour of flight time.

The fuel interchange manuals for all Army aircraft list JP-8 as the NATO equivalent of Jet A.
Bell, Hughes, Super Puma and AS-350 helicopter manuals also list JP-8 as a military fuel in lieu of Jet A.
I don't know what the Air Force uses.
