Yep...it is just better refined diesel.

I kinda knew this for two reasons...1) because I've been driving a diesel for about 5 years now and I've done some reading on the subject...2)years ago,when I was almost out of heating oil during an outrageous cold snap...and didn't want to pay a $200 penalty for an "emergency delivery"...I went down to a nearby gas station and bought about 25 gallons of diesel and put it in my tank.Worked perfectly...and I saved a ton of $$$.

I am not surprised, Years ago we used to put JP 5,4?? in the emergency diesel at the GCA sites, worked fine, the engine just ran a little hotter.

Jet fuel is actually kerosene with some extra goodies in it for thermal stability and spark resistance.

Diesel is in the C8-C21 range and Kerosene in the C6 to C16 range with respect to hydrocarbon chain length.
