Re: What is the chemical composition of jet fuel, the name,is it potable?

Charles

There are 8 or nine different jet fuels called JP-1 through JP-6 for military 
jets and JP-A, A-1 and B for commercial jet aircraft.

All are kerosine or kerosine/gasoline based compositiond differing mainly in 
flash point and freezing point.

All are complex volatile hydrocarbon mixtures and are in no way, shape or form 
potable.

There simply is no one single chemical involved in these mixtures. If you are 
looking for a symbolic representation of your surname may I suggest using 
isooctane [from which the term 'gasoline octane' is derived...


(CH3)2CHCH2(CH3)3   there is a more elegant way to draw it out but one that I 
can't do on this browser...

Hope this helps
