jet A or jp-8 for fuel

[soul assassin]

i did a search and ran into a couple threads on this subject but they were pretty old and i was wondering if there were an updates on the guys that have been running this. do you add oil? how much and what kind? any info would be appreciated

2 cycle walmart oil, 5% per tank.

I'm seeing around 100 degrees less EGT's....but my mileage is suffering...losing around 3-5 mpg's

What are you paying for JP8?

[TANK'S 250]

it is not cost effective to run JetA/JP8....unless you can get "reclaim fuel"....which is....the test samples from different aircraft.....they store it in a big tank, and empty it when it gets full.

I am working on a project that requires jp-8 to be run in are gen sets. And my experiance so far is that it is DIRTY!!! Nothing but filtering problems. So much that were required to put in a backup fuel system so you can replace the dirty filter with out shutting the set down. And it can reclog in a mater of a couple hours or less.

I figured you were getting fuel-sample fuel because it will cost an "arm and a leg" everywhere you can find it. We use to use it to light bonfires on the beach. Guess we should have been saving that JP4 from long time ago....!
