Jet Fuel

Jet Fuel is similar to diesel fuel, and can be used in either compression ignition engines or turbine engines.

It is clear to straw colored are sometimes classified as kerosene or naphtha-type.
Kerosene-type fuels include Jet A, Jet A1, JP-5 and JP-8 and Naphtha-type jet fuels sometimes referred to as "wide-cut" jet fuel, include Jet B and JP-4.

The most common fuel is an unleaded/paraffin oil-based fuel classified as Jet A-1 (otherwise known as AVTUR), which is produced to an internationally standardized set of specifications.
Jet B is of lighter composition and it is more dangerous to handle, and thus restricted only to areas where its cold-weather characteristics are absolutely necessary.

Both standard jet fuels (Jet A and Jet B) may contain a number of addit ives like antioxidants to prevent gumming and biocide if evidence of bacterial colonies inside the fuel system exists.

At Gomak Inc. directly or through our subsidiaries, we buy and sell jet fuel of different specifications all over the world.

In United States the most commonly used commercial aviation kerosine, avgas, or aviation gas, is known as 100LL (100 octane, low lead) and is dyed blue.

The other jet fuel that is commonly used in civilian turbine engine-powered aviation is called Jet B, a fuel in the naphtha-kerosene region that is used for its enhanced cold-weather performance.

Militaries around the world use a different classification system of JP (JP for "Jet Propellant") numbers..

The United States military makes heavy use of JP-5 and JP-8 while others like JP-1, JP-4 ,.JP-6, JP-7, and JPTS for Jet Propellant Thermally Stable (high thermal stability, high altitude fuel) are aircraft-specific.
