Thanks for the hilarious comments. But sorry folks, all 4 products were the same at the time. Certain tank inspection and flushing procedures took place before loading aviation Jet A but other than that it was the same refinery product.
Im a little confused at that comment.
If it's all the same product why in the world would there be "Certain tank inspection and flushing procedures"?
How long ago was this? I only ask because as of 1993 the legal limit for sulphur in diesel used on the road was 500 PPM. That means Jet A wouldn't have been street legal for more than 20 years now.
From a road-tax point of view it's never been legal, it's untaxed fuel.
Flushing was not uncommon. It helps make sure there wasn't any gasoline left in the truck when you went to load the Jet A.
I quit hauling it about 6 years ago, so I don't know if it is still the same.
In my previous post I meant to say 06Fargo was correct. Oops.
