Jet Fuel Basics

Early proponents of aviation turbine engines claimed that they could run on any fuel. Well, lucky for us, they were wrong.

Although turbine engines are much more fuel tolerant than gasoline and diesel engines, a jet engine's fuel system is incredibly sensitive to the physical and chemical properties of fuels. Aviation fuels are the most complex, rigidly controlled products produced by oil refiners because a great number of physical and chemical properties must be maintained in order to produce a fuel that will perform consistently and safely.

AGE Jet Fuel Features

• Excellent low temperature flow properties
  
  
• Combustion efficiency: burns efficiently and cleanly
  
  
• Energy content: provides maximum Btu's and efficient energy storage
  
  
• Stability: passes industry's most stringent test, the JFTOT at 275°F
  
  
• Cleanliness: delivered clear and bright, free of rust, water and sediment
  
  
• Water separation: AGE does not add any surfactants or antioxidants

Quality Control: Jet fuel batches are certified by experienced lab personnel who have nearly 100 years of testing knowledge. Samples are tested and approved at strategic locations in the distribution system to provide quality assurance.
