what do i have to mix with jet fuel (JP-8) to run in my truck some 2 stroke oil or something. should i just mix it half and half with diesel?

Mixing it with BIO would be best for the lubricity.

lots on this before, run diesel, bio or diesel fuel additive for lubrication, lots written before.

gallon 2 stroke oil + half gallon of marvel mystery oil for every 33 gallons i think it was.... but if you are getting it for free...go get a 55 gallon drum of bio and mix it like 50/50....my bro was running 50/50 jet A/#2 in my moms diesel jetta and worked great

you dont need anything. im in the airforce and we run straight jp 8 in our diesels all the time. they tend to run better.

The US Amry did run this in all of their vehicles, piston and turbine. When I was in, the general consensus was that it was a cleaner fuel, but required that the filters to be changed prior to first fill. I don't recall why, though. I do remember that every type of vehicle that operated it, ran hotter. I don't have any quantative numbers for you, sorry.

Qualitatively, though, less smoke, a little more pep, and occasionaly the smoke generators on the Abrams turned into flame throwers. That was really cool, a 62 ton beast with an afterburner.

the generators run ALOT better with jp8. if the airforce ever switched to #2 for most of thier powered ground equip, half the planes wouldnt fly! when we are deployed and have to use #2 the things just run like garbage.
