JP-4, long gone, had all kinds of nasties like toluene, naphtha, etc added. AFAIK, it was never used in civilian aircraft. JP-4 was sold to the civilian market as Jet B and is still available in some markets. From this web site: http://www.epa.gov/docs/fedrgstr/EPA...997/April/Day- 03/g8495.htm The flammability region of Jet B (JP-4), another fuel approved for use on most commercial transport category airplanes but primarily used for military jets, Bob Moore PanAm (retired) |

Very high flashpoint because of the SR's operating conditions. |
