Jet fuel will work fine in a normal diesel. Jet A has a lower energy content than D2 so you mileage will go down some but if it is free what is the big deal. It also has a lower lubrication quality (not sure what the right term for this is) so mixing with BD would be good. The military currently runs Jet fuel in most of there diesel trucks and ships. It is easier logistically to just have one fuel that takes care of everything instead of having to supply many different fuels for the fleet. Gary
