JP-8 and JP-5 as compression-ignition engine fuel. Interim report, July-December 1984
For many years, aircraft turbine fuel JP-5 has been used in diesel-engines as an alternate fuel for DF-2, and is listed as such in Army Regulation 703-1. Since 1965, diesel engine endurance tests have been conducted in a variety of compression-ignition engines using JP-5 or JP-8 as the fuel and comparing performances with DF-2. None of these tests showed engine failures or excessive wear attributable to the use of kerosene-type aircraft turbine fuels, although slightly reduced fuel-injection delivery volumes and lower power output were experienced in most engines, due to lower viscosity and lower heat content of JP-5 and JP-8 compared to DF-2. These results notwithstanding, periodically, concerns are raised about the use of JP-5 and JP-8 in diesel engines over long periods in the 500- to 1000-hour time frame, especially in new engine designs. This report is primarily an annotated bibliography of 23 references consisting of technical notes, letters, letter reports, and interim reports, on the subject of using aircraft turbine fuels JP-5 and JP-8 in diesel engines.
