Can a Diesel Engine Run on Jet Fuel?

Показать описание

On today's episode of McFarland Science, we swapped this 12 valve cummins to run on Jet Fuel! Turns out... it really works, but it may have some problems!

I'm an aircraft mechanic. I've used jet fuel plenty of times to full my old truck up. Runs great. Just added some 2 stroke oil.

The Galaxie and Chris fix in a Cleeter video!!! This is awesome!!!

The spelling error on the warning message is the kind of thing I've come to know and love with these Cleeter science vids.

Loved seeing ChrisFix, Hes helped alot of us DIY guys over the years. I'd love to see him in a crown vic going around the freedom factory with alot of other youtubers. Also would love to see Cleet and the boys get into Matts Offroad Games.

How have we not had “Can an engine run on AG1” video

Dude I been watching Chris fix since I was like 13 first learning how to fix cars. This is so great.

Man my heart is happy

It’s good to see the Galaxie again, especially with the love it’s gotten. Definitely one of my favorite shirts

CHRISFIX ON CLEETUS MCFARLAND?!?! One of the greatest collabs in automotive YouTube HISTORY

Garrett, I actually have a little bit of experience/expertise in this area due to some testing I've done with the Army as a test engineer on some new aircraft ground support equipment for their helicopters. The equipment had a Cummins engine that was designed to power aircraft 115/400hz, 28VDC, bleed air, and hydraulics. We were required to test on both green diesel and then also Jet A and log system performance. When doing a maximum load test, we lost around 5-10% of total engine power when using Jet A. Our fuel system also had a lubricating fuel filter which added lubrication to the system when running the jet fuel.

My Uncle used to get us JET-A from Love Field. He was a ground crew chief at Dalfort (retired Chief Master Sgt in the USAF) and the new fuel vendor there did not want the jets defuled and pumped back into 'his' tanks before the aircraft were brought into the hangers for storage or service. So we purchased 15 55-gallon drums and filled them with that free JET-A. We would double treat that fuel with Lucas to add lubricity for the high pressure pump. We ran that fuel in our 12v Cummins powered motorhome, ourdiesel Kubota tractors, and mowers for YEARS with ZERO issue.

We basically got fuel for the cost of a double treatment of Lucas additive. BEST DEAL EVER!

Yes, Jet Fuel is just super clean Kerosene which Diesel engines can run on. I worked for a aircraft maintenance facility and whenever a plane came in for a major maintenance we had to drain the planes fuel tanks. Instead of disposing it, a lot of the mechanics drove Diesel trucks and ran their trucks off it. They literally got free gas for their vehicles and ran them on Jet fuel aka Kerosene.

My 1997 Nissan TD27 ran on any old oil I could find for a few years (2010-2015). Lived close to a tiny airfield and often got A1 that had to be discarded. Mix it with cooking oil, kerosene, black diesel (old engine oil), and transformer oil with around a 50% mix of normal diesel to keep the consistency right to go through the pump. Always add 2 stroke at minimum 200:1 ratio. Motor and pump survived five years of that and just went on with life after that on normal diesel after we moved from the small town. Still going strong enough as my daily driver today.
