JP8 diesel fuel

01/07/2008 9:52 PM

Hello,

I have a customer ask me to provide a JP8 diesel generator set. But this is the first time I hear JP8 diesel, Is there any expertise can tell me what is JP8 diesel. Any engine can use this fuel at this moment.

Thank you so much.

JP = jet propellant. This is a military version of Jet-A fuel, which is essentially kerosine. Mil-spec fuels also contain additives for preventing icing, reducing static charge, and anti-corrosion. JP-8 is the current joint forces standard fuel, replacing JP-4, -5, and -6 (don't recall if there ever was a -7). Sparky already gave you a link to follow, but this quick-n-dirty may help. If the gen set will run on kerosine, it ought to eat JP just fine - those things normally aren't finicky. Heard from a friend once who ran one for weeks on peanut oil in a remote location. Smoked like a cigar and smelled like a circus peanut wagon, but produced power...
