kerosine
sorry i know im like flooding this board but i saved a lot of questions for the weekend....
i heard on another forum that peeple put kerosine in their tanks for a louder engine noise? doesnt this hurt ur truck in some way?

I don't know, this might work,I'm not volunteering,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Kerosene-Type Jet Fuel: A kerosene-based product having a maximum distillation temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit at the 10-percent recovery point and a final maximum boiling point of 572 degrees Fahrenheit and meeting ASTM Specification D 1655 and Military Specifications MIL-T-5624P and MIL-T-83133D (Grades JP-5 and JP-8). It is used for commercial and military turbojet and turboprop aircraft engines,,,,,,,,,,,,,I think that boiling point temp maybe wrong anybody have any firsthand expierence with heating jet fuel.
running kerosene is like running diesel in gas engines... its gonna run like crap... the compression ration isnt high enough... just dont do it... you will seriously save yourself some serious hell
Yea.
Heres some (useless) info found from some MSDS's:
Flash point ( lowest temperature at which it can form an ignitable mixture with air):
gasoline: -40*F
diesel: 125*F
kerosene: 100*F
JP-8 (jet fuel): 100*F
Autoignition temperature (lowest temperature at which a chemical will spontaneously ignite in a normal atmosphere, without an external source of ignition, such as a flame or spark)
gasoline: 495*F
diesel: 500*F
kerosene: 410*F
JP-8: 410*F
As you see, while JP-8 (and kerosene, the same thing pretty much) have higher flash points, while their autoignition temperaute (spontanious combustion) is lower. At work, we have a lot of safety precautions while refueling a plane. A few Air Force planes have been burnt to the ground because when refueling, people did something they shouldn't of.
You can run JP-8 in a diesel motor all day long though.
