dagebow Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 JP-4 is a 50/50 split kerosene/gasoline based fuel with a low flash point. Used up until 1995 according to sources. JP-8 replaces JP-4 and is a kerosene based fuel with a higher flash point but due to its oily texture, its smell lingers longer and contamination of a person can be increased. Also known as Jet A1. US Navy uses a variant called JP-5 with a yet higher flash point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
