I honestly thing our HHMV could run on pee if you asked it to....
That's only if the POS runs at all. [:@]
OK complete thread hijack going on here

1st of all ... leave it to a fly boy to mis-spell an acronym

2nd - my HMMWV always ran just fine....I did my PMCS & my mech wasn't a complete POS!! The ONE time it broke down on me and was about to leave me stranded a zip-tie was all it took and I was mov'n and grov'n again. They are good rigs if loved

as for running Jet fuel in my CTD -- umm no thanks -- that stuff is as expensive as good ol' #2

Thanks for all the input. Our company has two corporate jets and when they drain the sumps during maintenance they discard it. They actually pay a company to take it away along with used oil. Right now there is 150+ gallons of clean Jet A waiting disposal. Work told me I could take it all for free from now on so they would not have to dispose of it. I was just wondering if I could run it in my truck in some specific ratio with regular diesel with maybe some two stroke or MMO.

probably a stupid question - but could he mix the jet fuel and the waste oil and run it the '06 ?

Yes it would be a good idea to add oil with the Jet A, but I would not suggest he use waste motor oil. I think the best oil to use would be good old 30-wt Non Detergent oil, but how much to use is the big Q for a 2006 engine.

Sure you could......if you wanna run that crap through your lift pump (uhhh, damage) and then to your filter (uhhh, clogged up quick).

If anything add ashless 2 stroke oil. The TCW-3 stuff for PWC is perfect, I run it in mine every tank.
