OSTI ID:7363919
This report is an assessment of JP-8 as a replacement fuel for the Air Force standard jet fuel JP-4. All facets of the problem are examined including fire safety under combat and noncombat conditions, crash fire safety, storage, handling and maintenance safety, laboratory testing, gunfire testing, flight testing, cost and availability, and impact on current Air Force weapons systems. The report concludes that a significant improvement in overall fire safety could be achieved by conversion to JP-8 however, additional investigation into problems related to low temperature ground start and altitude relight should be accomplished prior to conversion.
