Jet A

[R.ebel]

Was given 300+ gallons of Jet A removed from an aircraft #ad
Can anyone reccomend a good lubrication additive? I intend on using this fuel in my Cummins powered binder.

I've always felt that Howe's and Marvel Mystery provide more lube than the other popular brands. You could also mix the A 25% to 75% # 2. Either way you won't get as much power or fuel economy as you would with straight #2.

Since JetA is very dry I would use Stanadyne Performance formula. I have used it for about 125,000 miles on #2 and I'm happy with it.

I also was told by a very knowledgable man about stadyne diesel libricator, he said it was made for the military so they could run any(even gasoline) fuel in their equipment to make it home. Its supposed to be good stuff.

Jet A is a very dry fuel. I would use it for a winter blend,maybe 25%. But for summer it may be a little to hard on injectors even with staydyne.
