“after that unless the Navy is in the habit of putting how-to-refine-jet-fuel texts that are detailed enough to be of quick use to 1940s”

Basically Kerosene

Yes, but basically is not exactly, at least necessarily anymore. Who knows what they add these days and for what reasons? Maybe it still is just kerosene as it was in the 60s and 70s.

On the bright side the modern carrier wouldn’t have nearly the fire issues that the old aviation gas carriers had (it now seems it may have been a gas fume explosion that doomed Lady Lex, at least based on what they saw when examining her wreckage).

Wouldn’t matter much with only the on hand replacement parts for high performance engines.
