Hi all. New to the board and hoping to gain and contribute some valuable info.

I've heard that Jet fuel used in commercial planes is basically the same as diesel #2 with less lubricating additives but it can be run in diesel motors as long as you add some lubrication like a two stroke oil. I've talked to a couple guys that have run it in powerstrokes and duramax's with no problems.

Anyone used in their big rig, esp MB450?

Jet A is over $1 per gallon more than diesel - at least here in PA. I am curious as to why you'd want to use that in your truck?

I've got a source to get it free.

Hey,...sounds like a deal,...can you get us some??

.....the old M-35A1's of vietnam days were multi-fuel and did rather well on JP4 with oil added...they would burn anything available with addition of oil at a ratio-that I can't remember at this time.....have to look it up sometime.....geofkaye

I get pretty limited quantities but really want to make sure it's safe to use before using it in my $200K+ rig. Of course the freightliner service dept is of no help cause they can't recommend anything but pump fuel.

Anyone know if there's anything with these engines that would different than any other diesel. Each manufacturer seems to have certain quirks a sometimes minor differences.

Thanks for the input.

Better to install a propane injection unit for extra power, Also add a quality two stroke oil to diesel fuel. Tips from an ex trucker.
