The routine for most airports is to sump (drain) a pint or two of jet-a a
day out of the big tank or the fuel truck to look for water and crap. They used to just dump it out like we dump the fuel out of the fuel sampler (shhhh, don't tell EPA). I put a red plastic gas can on the fuel truck and asked them to dump the "contaminated" jet-a into the gas can every day. Doesn't take long for me to get five gallons of kerosene that way, and it's free and the environmentalists stay happy too. win, win, win. Jim "Tri-Pacer" wrote in message ...

That *has* to be a typo. Just buy jet fuel from your FBO. We burn it in our torpedo heater (it's designed for kerosene) at the hangar, and it works great. Current cost is about $3 per gallon. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Our ag operator was here yesterday and told me that he uses Jet in his truck and in his furnace at home because it's cheaper. Also keeps the injectors cleaner. Rather than buying some #1 diesel, to blend with our #2 for the winter, I should have just bought a 1/2 semi load of Jet. grrrrrrrrrr. Jim |

My computer made me do it That should have been 15 gallons Still gonna be a cold winter. I just bought 5 gallons of kerosene and the bill was over $50.00 I have an option to buy 4 cans (20 gallons total) of kerosene ...and get two, new in the box, heaters thrown in to boot. These are bigger units - upright. Many BTU's. They were a donation for our theater's fundraiser. They didn't sell at the garage sale last spring, or this fall. Whole works is mine if I want it: 2 heaters + 20gals of kerosene = $50. Might be a stocking stuffer ...for me. Montblack |
