What are jp4 and jp5 fuel?

JP4 is Jet Propulsion Fuel 4, made up of 35% light petroleum distillates and 65% gasoline. JP-5 or Jet Propulsion Fuel 5 is a military specification for purified kerosene jet fuel. There is no JP54


Type of fuel use for Boeing 747-400?

The 747 normally uses fuel called Jet A. The are other variants, Jet A1, JP4 etc. All are forms of kerosene.


Which fuel is used in jet air crafts?

Jet fuel, sometimes called Jet A, JP4 or JP8. It is a very pure form of kerosene with a few other materials added to remove water.


What fuel we use in air jet?

Jet engines burn aviation grade Kerosene called JPx where the "x" is a number specifying the grade (e.g. JP1, JP4).


Which fuel is used in aeroplanes?

Small, general aviation type airplanes use avgas (aviation gasoline) which is very similar to automobile fuel. Large jet engines mostly use Jet-A fuel, which is a real nasty substance with a very high octane rating. Military fighter jets mostly use JP4 fuel which is similar to Jet-A but even more combustable.

Can exposure to JP-4 cause nuerological problems for mechanics?


How much does fuel cost for a plane?

This question is best answered with a "Depends On" type of answer. There are several types of Aircraft that use several types of fuel. There are common piston type aircraft that use anything from common no lead gasoline to jet aircraft that use a higher octane product commonly referred to as JP4 or jet fuel. The "Depends on" comes in with the highly volatile cost of petroleum based fuels. You can figure that common fuel for piston type aircraft (commonly 100LL / 100 octane Low Lead) is similar in price to automotive gasoline with a $1 - $2 premium usually added by the supplier because you have few choices of where to buy it unless you go to another airport. The cost of going to another airport is usually higher than just paying the premium. Jet fuel (JP4) is often cheaper than the 100LL for piston aircraft because the airports desire more jet aircraft to do business at their facility. Currently (Winter 2010) fuel for my piston aircraft is in the neighborhood of $4.50 per gallon and my aircraft (Single engine Piper Warrior) burns approximately 9 gallons per hour.


What is the need of gasoline in the airplane?

What exactly do you mean? Type of fuel? Most piston powered aircraft run on 100 octane low-lead or 100LL. Jets run on Jet A/A1 (similar to JP8 in the military) or B (similar to JP4 in the military) Certain planes can run on regular 87 octane gas from gas stations...some even run on Diesel. It all varies.


What are methods you might not want to use to communicate safety to your unit?

Waving a weapon around, firing it indiscriminately over the heads of the other soldiers seems like it might be a bad choice to communicate range safety. Lighting up a fuel pod of JP4 might not be the best way to demonstrate fire safety during fueling operations. Gunning the throttle and bowling over your ground guide might be a poor way to demonstrate correct motorpool operations.


Can you use an aviation oil in a diesel engine sd33t?

it depends- Do not use any type of turbine oil it is synthetic and will eat up your seals. You could use some of the piston aviation oil if you don't operate under dirty conditions, make sure it is not synthetic (aircraft use different oil seal the autos) and use a turbo oil it has more additives which work well with diesel engines in a car with a turbo which stays on the paved roads a aviation piston engine oil for turbo charged aircraft at 30 to 50 weight would be good most oils are made about the same way its the additives diesel oils have more detergent to keep the carbon suspended and not collecting on the insides of the engine- turbos get hot and tend to bake the oil and carbon on the engine parts. i am a aircraft mechanic since summer of 88 and have worked farm and diesel repair since i was in grade school Are you talking about using Jet fuel as fuel for the SD33T? If so then the answer is yes, but you must add lube oil to your tank. It is very common around airports and in the military to use Jet fuel or JP4 in diesel vehicles. This fuel has less lubricity that regular diesel so an additive like lube oil must be used.


Was agent orange in powder form before it was mixed?

agent orange was before it was mixed and drummed. agent white and agent blue come in powdered dry form in 50 lbs bags as well as SUPER AGENT ORANGE II AND SILVEX (CONTAINED SEVEN TIMES THE AMOUNT OF TCDD DIOXIN THAN THE REST) mixed with water, heavy oil and maybe some JP4. AGENT ORANGE was not soluable with water. it had to be mixed with diesel fuel. I personally handled all of them on Andersen AFB, GUAM FROM SEPT 1968 TO JUNE 1978
