No. JP8 would completely clog up the Diesel Particulate Filter and render the vehicle inoperable. Not to mention you'd be committing theft if you were putting JP8 into your vehicle, since the military is the only customer of it.
JP8 was invented to be compatible with diesel. You don't really need to put any additives in it, but if you insist I'd use something like Howes Meaner Power Cleaner.
The boiling point of jet fuel 8 is 175-300°C (347-572 F)
Not as is. The military uses JP8 in diesel engined vehicles, but JP8 is a very highly refined form of kerosene, and not equivalent to what you'd purchase at the pump. It might work for a while, but, in the end, you'd probably end up having to replace your motor and entire fuel system.
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.
There are kerosene-based fuels (such as JP8), which can be used in diesel motors. There are also biofuels, which can be made from grain-based products, that'll work in diesel motors.
JP-8 is both flammable and combustible. It has a flash point of 38°C (100.4°F), making it highly flammable when exposed to a flame or spark, and it can also sustain a fire once ignited. It is important to handle and store JP-8 properly to prevent accidents.
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.
The API (American Petroleum Institute) gravity of JP-8 fuel typically ranges from 38 to 41 degrees. JP-8 is a military jet fuel that is kerosene-based, designed for use in aircraft and ground vehicles. Its specific gravity is lower than that of water, indicating it is lighter than water, which is important for its performance in aviation applications. JP-8 also contains additives to improve its properties, such as thermal stability and anti-icing characteristics.
