Today, technology makes it possible to implement unexpected and extraordinary ideas in many areas. Based on this, you may come across a question that you may have never thought about: Can jet fuel be used in cars?

It may seem strange when you first hear it, or maybe you’ve thought about this question before. So, is it really possible? Let’s see.

Two basic fuels are used in aviation.

The first fuel used in aviation is “avgas (avaition gasoline)” for reciprocating engines. It’s 100 octane (the durability and combustion quality of gasoline under severe conditions) and is obtained by formulating gasoline in aircraft piston engines.

The fuel used for jet engines is Jet-A. This fuel, which is in fact kerosene, is today on passenger and cargo aircraft is frequently used. Although it is more difficult to ignite than gasoline, it gives off more heat than gasoline.

Can we use any of these in our cars?

“JET FUEL!”

Since most cars run on 85-90 octane fuel, you may think that you won’t damage the engine if you use avgas, but this fuel because it contains lead You can damage parts such as the catalytic converter.

Jet-A, on the other hand, is not suitable for your car unless it is a compression unit with the correct ignition power. Putting diesel fuel in a gas car Something like that happens. However, Jet-A can be used in vehicles with diesel engines. However, since none of the oils are present in diesel, it can’t do much good.

Moreover, it is not easy to find a place where you can buy these fuels. While gasoline prices have risen so much There doesn’t seem to be any need to look for jet fuel either…

Of course, there are people who put jet fuel in their cars, even though it is not safe:
