Get your jet fuel here!

Three Mercer County gas stations pumped aviation fuel instead of regular gas

Just talking out of my ass here, but I heard diesel & jet fuel *could* (not "should," but "could") be interchanged.


I wouldn't be surprised to see a couple of lawsuits come out of the woodwork after this.

Jet fuel is like Kerosene, good for cleaning things, but does not have enough BTUs for a car

You can run JP8 in a diesel truck but you need to add lubricants to it since the fuel in jet engines doesnt come in contact with anything where friction is a concern.

someone's losing their job over this. I've read that 6 gas stations were confirmed to be pumping aviation fuel now.

I got a diesel mix back in 2005 and nothing could be proven then. That hydrolocked the motor in my SS. Too bad it wasn't as wide spread or documented as this incident.
