Barren Concur. In early days in P-80 when every base didn't have JP-1 it was authorized to fill up with av gas to get home. Did on numerous occasions and no damage to J-33.

Was it similar - 100 gph vs 100 gph, or whatever a P-80 burned? Performance differences? Curious. Thanks. Montblack |

I'll bet his tailpipe looked like the exhaust stacks on the jet truck at Oshkosh. VAROOOOOMMMM!!!! Rich "Let's light 'em up!" S. |
