I have never used jet fuel but, I have run aviation fuel from prop planes in my cars... If you have a friend with a pilots lic you should be able to get some.

You do NOT want to run JET fuel in your car..... jet fuel is just highly refined kerosene...... Aviation fuel is just very high octane fuel... not quite the same as auto fuel but very close.... I have run 1/2 tank of prem fuel with 2 or 3 gallons of Aviation fuel..

If you do choose to add jet fuel to your gas please post vids...

Definately post vids. I think the name is enough to steer people away from using 'Jetfuel' in a piston engine.

JET FUEL ---- used in TURBINE JET engines (no real octane rating)

Aviation fuel ----- used in PISTON driven prop engines(approx 110 octane)

JET ENGINE= JET FUEL..... DO NOT RUN THE FUEL THAT GOES IN THIS ENGINE.. THIS PIC WAS TAKEN ON A TEST RUN IN THE TEST CELL WITH JET FUEL.... Pratt & Whitney F-100 engine....... should make for a good low 10second car and I hear they pull a premeum before race wars.... lol

i mean you can run higher oct gas, but unless you are tuned for it, the gains are really going to be minimal compared to if you are tuned for the higher oct gas
