""Lack of fuel" at an airport with literally hundreds of thousands of gallons of jet fuel... TRANSLATION: the airport officials want their cut, probably 10-20%, before the stuff leaves the airport."
Trucks cannot run on jet fuel.
True, but they still want their cut.
Some can, some can't. And where do all the trucks and other equipment needed to run the airport get their fuel from, if they are out of fuel?
Diesels run fine on JP-8, just a little hot.
