Jet fuel as a fuel injector cleaner

[UG_Passat]

An STP ad came up on my Facebook feed touting it's use of jet fuel as the primary ingredient in the Super Fuel injector cleaner (and a pinch of PEA). SDS confirms it

I'll stick with buying Top TIER gasoline and Techron and/or Redline

Jet fuel can be anything from J1 to JP7. I assume they mean cheap Kerosene.

Fancy name for diesel or kerosene

What a bunch of, Jet fuel has a higher flash point than gasoline and is basically refined kerosene.

When I worked at General Dynamics - Convair, cruise missiles used JP9 - $100 /gallon. Well that was on the test stand.

"Hydrosulferized" is the process; Kerosine is the final product. Whoopie.

Yeah, you are on the right track. Jet fuel, PEA and some of these will do the trick. Yeah, that's the ticket!

so i'd be just as well off to put a pint of K-1 in my fuel?
around here K-1 is about 3.99/Gal... or 3 cents/oz... so that pictured 12 oz bottle.... 36cents...
local Autozone that bottle is $6.49, or 54 cents/oz.

CAS 64742-81-0 is also Jet A-1.

The marketing wankateers really went home on this one, I'm not sure the "jet fuel" does a whole lot when you only have like an ounce of it per gallon, maybe it helps a little with the injectors, but mostly the petroleum distillates are a carrier for the detergent (PEA,PIB, PIBA, etc..).

If we are discussing fuel system cleaners and combustion enhancer-cleaners, use a can of Berryman's B-12 and a bottle of Regane every 5th fillup.

I think Liqui Moly Jectron also claimed it had jet fuel at one time. I used to use it long ago when a local Sunoco carried it...

Tax dollars well spent...

I don't think there is any issue with it having jet fuel in it. Also has benzene.
As far as being injector cleaner the fact that it has some PEA is a benefit. Most are solvent only.

So, not a terrible product, but not one that i will be putting in my vehicle.

LMAO, IIRC Mag1 had a fuel cleaner for like $2.00-2.50 that had "Jet Fuel" in it. Picked them up when ever I made a stop at Atwoods farm

I used 2-3 bottles a month in my fleet and was hoping it could make my KITT "turbo boost" at least once !! But no cigar
