I remember the days of JP4 and thankfully they are gone. We use JP8 now for everything from aircraft to trucks to generators. IT is much less flammable and much cleaner.
I talked to some guys that were on their way home. They had seven trucks that were hit by RPG fire and none of them ignited. THey said it put a big hole in the tanker, but no fire. I was glad to hear that.
