diesel engine using JetA1 as fuel,,
(OP)
would like to find out if i can use jetA1 in my toyota landcruiser,I remember using parafin mixed with two stroke oil in our tractors on the farm , and have come across 1000litres of helicopter fuel , and thought it is very similar to parafin , so if i mix it with two stroke oil or with top end cylinder lubricamt will it have any detremental or negative effect on my vehicle





RE: diesel engine using JetA1 as fuel,,
You should check to see if this would void your warrenty.
What year is this vehicle?
Does the engine use EGR?
I would worry that the lubricity of the Jet A1 fuel might not be good enough for a modern high pressure common rail system.
Some diesel engine manufactures actually say that they don't care what the fuel is called, as long as it meets certain specs.
Toyota may have such a fuel standard.
Jet fuel probably has a shelf life, just as diesel fuel does. Example: fungus can grow, thus ruining the fuel.

If the landcruiser has a SI engine, it will not like jet fuel at all.
