As said before, Diesel engines will burn jetfuel, however the
lubrication properties are much lower so the injection system has to be
designed to live with that.
Indeed. When I worked on a pipeline delivering JetA to CLE, we'd
chat with the mechanics that maintained the refueling trucks. They
were run on JetA, as was much of the ramp lice. The logistical
advantage of doing so must have exceeded the cost difference of
trucking in #2.
Number 2 will tun into jelly if it gets too cold, so most truck operators
avoid it unless there is some State requirement to use it.
