Matt, what kind of reference could I use that would be acceptable to you,
the engines that I was referring to are 40-50 years old and I was providing
my information from my personal memory, yes I know, sometimes I have a great
memory but is very short, however even the gentleman that provided the fort
belvoir link on fuels stated the same information that I was, and that it
can only be used in an emergency for a very short duration. If you would
like me to be specific as to why I can be but it isn't a short explanation.

Funny, from my vantage point watching this thread, you are about the only
one who hasn't provided a reference to support his position.

In retrospect I have to concur with your point Matt, I will try to look
around and see if I have any old USAF tech manuals, but I wouldn't expect
that after this amount of time I will be successful.
P.S.
I also searched P&W site the other night but not very successful there, they
have scant information on vintage or newer engines available to the public.

A link to a manufacturer's operations manual, etc. It just seemed odd to
me that you were saying "trust me" and others were saying "trust me", yet
you claim that they don't have the facts and you do. It seemed to me that
if anything both positions were at parity. I didn't see any data beyond
"trust me" that would tip the argument one way vs. the other. That was my
only point.

I searched around the other night and found a few references, but they
weren't all that conclusive with regard to fuel usage in turbines.

What about the info that the B-36 jet engines used the only fuel available
on the airplane? Gas! That was not for emergency use, but every day use.

I don't want to sound like a flame. I think it is very admirable that you
backed up a bit on your hard line, and admitted that there was something you
might need to learn. Stick around. There is a great core of knowledge and
experience in this group.

See ya-
