spike Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 hell no!! tell him he better get racing glow plugs to keep up with that jet fuel he's gonna use since its pretty much glorified diesel... anyway on a more serious note I dont think that even a well built 440 ex can take a basic pipe/filter shee. so dont worry you'r not in danger :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BellicoseBanshee Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 I think your friend is drinking the jet fuel and putting the Kool-Aid in his fuel tank. If your friend thinks jet fuel and aviation fuel are the same, he or she is wrong. Jet A, A-1, and JP-8 are kerosine based while Jet B and JP-4 are a blend of gasoline and kerosine. It's not gonna happen..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarineNYC Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 (edited) There is a fuel that they run in planes called av-gas. It s like 120 octane and the sell it at some airports. This u can run in your bike. The fuel they are talkin about is like jp-5 or jp-8. Thats what some jet engines run. We run it in our Cobra and Huey helicopters. He still isnt smokin you. Even if he had a "hyper drive" on that pooch. Edited September 10, 2007 by MarineNYC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
