Durability Evaluation of the Effects of Hydro-processed Renewable Jet (HRJ) Blended at 50% with Petroleum JP-8 on a Navistar Maxxforce D10 9.3L Engine

Abstract

Two Navistar 9.3L diesel engines were tested to a modified version of the NATO 400-hr test. Test modifications included using non-standard fuels (JP-8 and a JP-8/HRJ fuel blend) and elevated testing temperatures. Engine #1 was endurance tested on JP-8 fuel while engine #2 was endurance tested on JP-8/HRJ fuel blend. Both engines completed the 400 hour endurance schedule successfully. In addition, the data for both engines shows that there is a small decrease in engine power output from JP-8 to JP-8/HRJ blended fuel proportionate with decreasing fuel volumetric energy.
