Need source for small quantity of JP-8 fuel
(OP)
We need a small quantity (100 gallons)of JP-8 jet fuel for a research project. Our former source no longer handles it. We are in upper Midwest USA. If necessary, we can provide info off-forum for any security concerns.

RE: Need source for small quantity of JP-8 fuel
Getting military-grade fuels is, has been, and always will be, difficult for the average civilian. If you are engaged in a military contract, you should be able to work through the system to obtain what you need, but good luck -- it took us more than 2 years to get a sample of JP4 via "official channels". The un-official channels worked much more quickly.

JP-8 has de-icing compounds added for use in extreme cold weather operation.
You are correct about the similarity but the specs on this project make JP-8 an absolute.
