Does all of military use JP-8 instead of JP-5 jet fuel?

[Houdini]

I was part of a fuel unit in the Gulf War Episode 1 and we had roughly 12 million gallons of Deisel with about 4 million gallons of kerosene.Run the Kero through a filter seperator a time or 2 and you have JP-4 I do believe it was.

I didn't pay much attention in fuel class due to being an Engineer...I just wanted to see what happens when it explodes.

C₆H₁₄O_{2(2-butoxyethanol) Per MSDS, EGBE causes AIHA}

Burning with kerosene LINK Photo A soldier would stir and waste would burn down Chad Pagel is from Cloverdale, IN. He gave me this photo in @ 2003. He also shared about a time his group was securing an airport & their bowels went liquid (another glycol ether exposure of some type) more

Chad of Indiana (upper right photo) shared that he had a job of burning human waste, etc with kerosene. He has 'the syndrome ' A man who worked for a contractor in Iraq more recently went out jogging past the burn pits, and had sudden blood in urine, hemoglobin dropped from 13 down to 4; hematocrit went from 40 to 11 Man in Iraq with sudden, acute AIHA * LINK after jogging past the burn pits Returned to the States and was diagnosed with Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia Has had 4 series of Rituxin treatments; 73 blood transfusions; gamma globulin treatments, too Has been in remission on the AIHA and also for NHL which showed up. His home is in Valdez, Alaska; worked in Iraq as civilian with Halliburton

Thus it is the KEROSENE that can cause similar harm as glycol ether exposure!

Kerosene molecular formula C12H26 No O2 ... BUT there is plenty of air when burned No oxygen, but when it's burned, there is lots of O2 to add in

Quote: "That is just one of a whole lot of hydrocarbons in kerosene (and even at that, it is incorrect because, in chemistry, capital letters do matter). Kerosene is not a compound but a mixture of many hydrocarbons as well as smaller quantities of other chemicals and so does not have a chemical formula."

Made a back up copy of this thread; and corrected a couple of web pages that were broken; not at the same location as now, 9 years later.

According to a post on patriotfiles.com www.patriotfiles.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-32562.html Back up <--- link there were 4 million gallons of kerosene brought into the first Gulf war. When burned, already being refined, it must become a strong version of glycol ether chemicals; and the cause of harm to some soldiers who were burning it ... even for those who passed nearby.
