One barrel of Singapore Jet Fuel cost US$170.48 on 10th July 2008
It's very much like kerosene or paraffin. It is refined from crude oil.
The amount of jet fuel that can be refined from crude oil varies depending on the specific refining process and the characteristics of the crude oil. On average, about 10-15% of crude oil can be converted into jet fuel. Therefore, from 1,000,000 barrels of crude oil, approximately 100,000 to 150,000 barrels of jet fuel could typically be produced.
jet fuel is only a higher quality diesel fuel. It is refined right here in the good ole USA
It is a refined version of kerosine with additives to reduce the tendency to gel. Commonly called "Jet A"
Jet fuel is actually very similar to Diesel fuel as they both are kerosene based. However Jet fuel is better refined in order to have as little water in it as possible.
Most planes use a type of aviation fuel known as jet fuel. Jet fuel is a specialized type of fuel designed for use in jet engines, which power most commercial airplanes. It is a type of kerosene that is refined for its high energy content and stability at high altitudes.
Airplanes primarily use jet fuel as their main source of energy to power their engines. The combustion of jet fuel in the engines creates high temperatures and gas flow that propel the aircraft forward.
They are made from crude oil, a fossil fuel that is extracted from the ground. This crude oil is refined through a process called fractional distillation to produce gasoline, jet fuel, and diesel, among other products.
1 barrel of oil (42 Gallons) will yield 19.5 gallons of Unleaded Fuel.
The final quarter 2014, the average cost of jet fuel was about $2.85 per gallon. A Boeing 777 holds about 51,585 gallons of jet fuel.
An example of a liquid fossil fuel is petroleum, which is commonly used in vehicles and for heating. It is extracted from the ground and refined into products such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel.
