THE USE OF JP-5 AVIATION TURBINE FUEL IN LARGE BORE, LOW SPEED DIESEL ENGINES,
Abstract
In view of substantial economies anticipated in the field of fuel logistics, an investigation was conducted to determine the feasibility of substituting JP-5 aviation turbine fuel for standard DF-2 diesel fuel in large bore, low speed diesel engines. The investigation included: (1) consultation with engineering and service representatives of engine and injection equipment manufacturers: (2) detailed examinations of typical engines following lengthy operation on JP-5 fuel; (3) on-the-spot inspection and analysis of reported large bore engine-fuel difficulties. From this investigation it was concluded that JP-5 can be substituted for DF-2 in large bore, low speed diesel engines with no appreciable ill effects to the engine or injection equipment, provided only that certain basic precautionary measures are observed.
