I added acetone to some black diesel in a jug the acetone floated on the surface! Like oil and water, now in the rotted old faithful F-100 300 six different story it gets acetone and loves it.

 

UPDATE: 20K Miles later and no problems to report at a 50/50 mix. Truck runs good, less than a 1 mpg loss running black diesel. Besides used engine oil, I have run hydralic fluid, ATF and kerosene without issues. Now they get mixed together.

 

Here's somethin to drop a hot coal in yer shorts..........................

My wife plays softball with a guy who works at Delta Western a Chevron distributor, get this as an employee he pays 2 bucks a gallon for the green stuff!

 

I am on a tank with 2 gallons of kerosene, and about 7 gallons of oil, I filled it to the brim, after it goes down a little bit, I got 8 quarts of new oil I have to get rid of too. haha works great!

 

Might wanna do a search for Frantz oil cleaner. Its a filter system specifically for filtering oil. I think Motorgaurd is another one. Dunno about the prices on these things though.

 

is jp8 jet fuel ?

 

According to Wikipaedia:

JP-8, or JP8 (for "Jet Propellant") is a jet fuel, specified in 1990 by the U.S. government. It is kerosene-based. It is a replacement for the JP-4 fuel; the U.S. Air Force replaced JP-4 with JP-8 completely by the fall of 1996, in order to use less flammable, less hazardous fuel for better safety and combat survivability. U.S. Navy uses a similar formula to JP-8, JP-5. JP-8 is projected to remain in use at least until 2025. It was first introduced at NATO bases in 1978. Its NATO code is F-34. It is specified by MIL-DTL-83133 and British Defence Standard 91-87.

Commercial aviation uses a similar mixture under the name Jet-A. JP-8 in addition contains icing inhibitor, corrosion inhibitors, lubricants, and antistatic agents.

JP-5 has even higher flash point than JP-8, but it also has prohibitively higher cost, limiting its use to aircraft carriers.

Outside of powering aircraft, JP-8 finds its use as a fuel for heaters, stoves, tanks, and other military vehicles, and serves as a coolant in engines and some other aircraft components.

JP-8 contains less benzene (a carcinogen) and less n-hexane (a neurotoxin) than JP-4. However, it also smells stronger than JP-4 and has an oily feel to touch, while JP-4 feels more like a solvent. The workers complained of smelling and tasting JP-8 for hours after exposure. As JP-8 is less volatile, it remains on the contaminated surfaces for longer time, increasing the risk of exposure.

JP-8+100 is a version of JP-8 with an additive that increases its thermal stability by 100 °F (56 °C). The additive is a combination of a surfactant, metal deactivator, and an antioxidant. It was introduced in 1994. The additive reduces coking and fouling in engine fuel system. Commercially, this additive is used in Boeing aircraft operated by KLM, and in police helicopters in Tampa, Florida. [1]

JP-8 fuel is also used at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, for heat, electricity, and to melt ice for water. It is used there, because it is one of the only fuels that will not turn into gel at such low temperatures.
