Evaluation of Impacts of JP-8+100 on Army Aviation and Ground Vehicles: Phase I Impact Study

Abstract

As the Army has converted to the "Single Fuel on the Battlefield Doctrine" and extensively uses JP-8 in all diesel-powered ground material systems, there are concerns about the acceptability of JP-8+100 for Army systems as the Air Force uses JP-8+100 in the future. The potential effects of JP-8+100 fuel on Army ground and aviation equipment were investigated to determine the scope of any expected problems and possible benefits from its use.
