Jet A in a Smart CDI

2 posts in this topic

Can you run Jet A fuel in a Smart CDI? It is pretty close to #1 diesel in my understanding.

I have.  

Back when my first smart was only a few years old I scored about a hundred gallons of fresh Jet a from work.  I added about a quarter cup of howes diesel conditioner per tank,  I found that my kilometres per tank dropped from around 650 per tank to somewhere in the high five hundreds.  it also didn't have quite the power of diesel.  It was free and it lasted for close to two years,  I also filled up with regular diesel if I was out of town.  

I heard that the US military is moving to jet a for all vehicals so they can have a stronger supply chain when out of the country, so tanks, personnel carriers and humvies can run on the same fuel as the helicopters and hercules aircraft.  I believe the fighter jets use Jet B with the naptha added for high altitude.
