Actually Jon, The sulphur is not what gives different fuels their
lubricity, sulphur is only removed from certain fuels to eliminate
smoke and prevent turbine blade cokeing. Jet-A and #1 Diesel, and K1
Kerosene are virtually Identical. and they all come from the same tank
during mass distribution, Jet-A is held to a slightly higer standard
with respect to moisture content and pour chaterisitcs, otherwise K1
kerosene is better than Jet-A due to its higer lubricity factor and
lower sulphur content. #2 diesel on the other hand has a different
flash point range and could cause problems. Distributors often sell
off excess Jet-A as K1 or #1 diesel or vis versa, depending on demand
situations.

Dear Listers,
I have added two new email Lists to the Matronics Line up today. These include
a Continental engine List and a Lightning aircraft List:
===========
continental-list@matronics.com
http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?Continental-List
Everything related to the Continental aircraft engine. Sky's the limit on discussions
here.
===========
===========
lightning-list@matronics.com
http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?Lightning-List
This is an exciting new design from Arion Aircraft LLC in Shelbyville Tennessee. Pete Krotje has a very nice web site on the aircraft that can be found here: http://www.arionaircraft.com/
===========
Also, if you haven't checked out the new Matronics Aircraft Wiki, swing by and
have a look. Remember, a Wiki is only as good as the content that the members
put into it. Have a look over some of the sections, and if you've got some interesting
or useful, please add it to the Wiki! Its all about YOU! :-) The
URL for the Matronics Wiki is:
http://wiki.matronics.com
