Aviation Jet Fuel is a type of aviation fuel designed for use in aircraft powered by gas-turbine engines. It is colourless to straw coloured in appearance. The most commonly used fuels for commercial aviation are Jet A and Jet A1, which are produced to a standardised international specification. The only other jet fuel commonly used in civilian turbine-engine powered aviation is Jet B, which is used for its enhanced cold-weather performance. Jet fuel is a mixture of a variety of hydrocarbons. Because the exact composition of jet fuel varies widely based on petroleum source, it is impossible to define jet fuel as a ratio of specific hydrocarbons. Jet fuel is therefore defined as a performance specification rather than a chemical compound. Aviation Jet Fuel is commonly referred to as JP54. However, this is the wrong terminology as there is no such grade of Jet Fuel. Jet A and Jet A1 are what refineries offer. Aviation Jet fuel Gas is what powers turbine aircraft engines. Worldwide, Jet Fuel is the most used low Sulphur content Kerosene. For instance, Colonial JP54 is similar to Jet A except the energy is 18.4 mj/Kg compared to the 42.8 MJ/kg of Jet A. Most importantly there is also a slight difference in additives. Aviation Jet Fuel B is used for its extremely cold weather performance. However, aviation Jet fuel Bs lighter composition makes it more dangerous to handle. For this reason, it is rarely used except in very cold climates. A blend of approximately 30% Kerosene and 70% Gasoline. Because of its very low freezing point (60 C (76 F), it is known as a wide cut fuel and has a low flash point as well. Aviation Jet Fuel B is primarily used in some military aircraft. In Canada, it is also used because of its freezing point. Aviation Kerosene standards are published as GOST10227-86. The standard consists of different properties. It separates paraffin and gasoline in the refinery. Military organisations around the world use a different classification system of JP (for Jet Propellant) numbers. Some are almost identical to their civilian counterparts and differ only by the amounts of a few additives. For instance, Jet A1 is similar to JP 8, Jet B is similar to JP 4. Military fuels are highly specialised products and are developed for very specific applications. Jet fuels are sometimes classified as kerosene or naphtha type. Kerosene type fuels include Jet A, Jet A1, JP 5 and JP 8. Naphthatype jet fuels, sometimes referred to as wide cut Jet Fuel, including Jet B and JP 4.

Fuel Oil is a fraction obtained from petroleum distillation either as a distillate or a residue Broadly speaking oil is any liquid petroleum product which is burned in a furnace or boiler for the generation of heat or used in an engine for the generation of power except oils having a flash point of approximately 40 C 104 F Oil is made of long hydrocarbon chains particularly alkanes cycloalkanes and aromatics The term Fuel Oil is also used in a stricter sense to refer only to the heaviest commercial fuel that can be obtained from crude oil heavier than gasoline and naphtha Fuel oils are used as fuel for power generation marine bunkers and large industrial heating plants Fuel oil 180 CST also known as Bunker Fuel or Residual Fuel Oil is characterized by its viscosity which is measured in centistokes CST The number 180 indicates the maximum viscosity of the oil at 50 degrees Celsius This specification makes it a relatively thick and viscous fuel compared to lighter fuel oils Both CST 180 and CST 380 fuel oils are considered heavy fuel oils and are commonly used in the shipping industry They are often referred to as bunker fuels and are used in vessels like cargo ships container ships and oil tankers

Jet Fuel A1 is a specialized type of kerosene designed for use in aircraft powered by gas-turbine engines. It meets stringent international specifications, ensuring optimal performance and safety for aviation applications. Primary Characteristics: Appearance: Clear to straw-colored liquid. Odor: Characteristic petroleum or kerosene odor. Density: Typically around 0.80 kg/l at 15 C. Flash Point: Minimum of 38 C (100 F). Freezing Point: Maximum of -47 C (-53 F). Specifications: Jet Fuel A1 adheres to the stringent international standards set by organizations like ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) and DEF STAN (UK's Defence Standard).
