Jet A fuel, the most common type of jet fuel freezes at −40 °C (-40°F)
However the problem does not arise in practice as most modern jet aircraft are equipped with in-pipeline fuel heaters which maintain the temperature of the fuel lines so as to prevent any gelling or freezing of the fuel. Indeed, a much more concerning phenomena is the freezing of water-ice crystals in the fuel, as water has a much higher freezing point, and can clog fuel lines. Nowadays almost all jet fuel is treated with special additives which, among other things, prevent the formation of these ice crystals.

What temperature does jet fuel freeze?
-146f
At what temperature does jet fuel freeze?
There are different types of jet fuel. Standard ones are Jet A and Jet A-1. Jet A freezing point = -40 C Jet A-1 freezing point = -47 C Google it!
What temperature does jet fuel ignite?
It is enough for a spark to ignite any fuel.
How many gallons of jet fuel in a metric ton?
There are approximately 298 gallons of jet fuel per metric ton. Jet fuel weighs about 6.7 pounds per gallon. The mass of fuel varies depending on the pressure and temperature.
How hot will a fire get when fueled with jet fuel?
When we ignite the jet fuel,the temperature can go as high as 800 Oc and may come down to approx 600 Oc
Does temperature variation affect jet fuel volume?
Yes, jet fuel expands when it is hot and contracts when it is cold. It has a coefficient of thermal expansion of about 0.000999/degree C.
Does temperature variation significantly affect volume of jet fuel?
It depends on how significant the temperature variation is. Jet fuel has a coefficient of thermal expansion of 0.00099/C. That means that for every 10 degree Celsius rise in temperature the volume will increase by almost 1%.
At what temperature does the fuel lines freeze in the helicopter in the film Day after Tomorrow?
-150 degrees
How many barrels of jet fuel in a metric ton?
The specific gravity for aircraft fuel is approximately 0.8 (depending on grade and anti freeze additives). Therefore 1250 litres would weigh a metric tonne (1000kg).
Does jet fuel burn hot enough to melt steel?
Construction grade steel burns at 2795 degrees Fahrenheit. Jet fuel does not burn this hot. Its maximum temperature is 1472 degrees Fahrenheit.
What is in jet fuel?
Jet fuel is kerosene base turbine aviation fuel
Is jet fuel conductive?
Jet fuel have low conductivity
