Jet fuel sound way cooler than Kero. :) Your just coming out of winter so you don't need to heat your shop. Did you get any of that snow last week?

So are you using it to fuel your foundry or a slop heater? And do you mix it with used motor oil or straight?

There was somewhere down there that got dumped on, I imagine the southern area. It is a pretty large country. :roll:

It was damn cold right up the eastern states, but snowed up in the mountains in some parts, were I live the weather I would think would be about the same as Florida

Mike,

Give me the details on the composition of that Jet fuel. There are some brands out there that will flat out fuck your respiritory system up and kill you in short order breathing the exhaust of it. My son was a crew chief for F16's in the chair force, he's seen men go down from a few whifs of the exhaust and never seen them again after their trip to the hospital. Each of them were discharged from service on 100% disability. He's heard some of those who succummed to the fumes ended up dieing shortly after. One huff and you're done, he said. May take a few weeks but you're done, nonetheless. I work in the hazmat industry... let me know what it is you're about to fuel up with so I can look up the particulars and give you some advice, even if nothing more than a go-ahead. Don't want to see anyone get hurt out of ignorance.

Frank
