How flammable is jet fuel?
Jet fuel comes in two basic types, Jet A and Jet B. Jet A-1 is the most common in use and there are other military spec fuels Both are kerosene and paraffin oil based fuels. These are very similar to diesel fuel, stove oil or lamp oil. Jet B is the more flammable of the two as it is made of hydrocarbons in the naptha/kerosene range for better cold weather service. In either case the flammability is similar to or less than than gasoline, for Jet A it can be compared to diesel oil. A third similar fuel is Avgas (Aviation Gasoline) which is a high octane gasoline similar to motor fuel.It is more flammable than gasoline or either of the jet fuels.

What kind of fuel do jets burn?
Jet fuel is a type of aviation-fueldesigned for use in aircraftpowered by gas-turbine. It is clear to straw-colored in appearance. The most commonly used fuels for commercial aviation are Jet A and Jet A-1 which are produced to a standardized international specification. The only other jet fuel commonly used in civilian turbine-engine powered aviation is Jet B which is used for its enhanced cold-weather performance.Jet fuel is a mixture of a large number of different hydrocarbons. The range of their sizes (molecular weights or carbon numbers) is restricted by the requirements for the product, for example, the freezing point or smoke point. Kerosene-type jet fuel (including Jet A and Jet A-1) has a carbon number distribution between about 8 and 16 carbon numbers; wide-cut or naphtha-type jet fuel (including Jet B), between about 5 and 15 carbon numbers.jet-fuelRead more: jet-fuel
