When Diesel Won’t Do, Toyota Uses Jet Fuel
www.wired.com/2012/04/when-die...
“A funny thing happens when diesel fuel drops below -30 degrees Fahrenheit: It turns to jelly. So when Icelandic 4×4 conversion specialists Arctic Trucks began prepping a fleet of Toyota Hilux pickups for the longest polar expedition in history, they had to find a new fuel source to cope with the frigid climes.”
What’s the Difference Between Gasoline, Kerosene, Diesel, etc.?
auto.howstuffworks.com/fuel-ef...
“The ‘crude oil’ pumped out of the ground is a black liquid called petroleum. This liquid contains aliphatic hydrocarbons, or hydrocarbons composed of nothing but hydrogen and carbon. The carbon atoms link together in chains of different lengths. It turns out that hydrocarbon molecules of different lengths have different properties and behaviors.”
Kerosene and Gasoline Flash Point
large.stanford.edu/courses/201...
“When examining the difference between the fuels used to power a car versus a plane, it is critical to analyze the fundamental difference in their flash point. The question of "can I put jet fuel in my car to make it run incredibly fast?" seems somewhat entertaining on the surface level, but is shot down immediately by simple aspects of how the respective engines are built to run. Jet engines work fundamentally different than piston engines, and therefore their fuel requirements are drastically different.”

Jet fuel can't...*scrolls down the comments*..-FUCK!
Car fuel melts iron beams?
+Ryan Airth about as well as jet fuel melts steel beams
+Ryan Airth It could make them sag and fall.
+Bobby Harper But it usually doesn't... Times and places where that has happened twice on the same day, at almost the same site - zero.
Tall buildings can and do fall down, but generally they don't collapse in on themselves. It takes some quite careful demolishion engineering to make that happen. You see 2 tall buildings collapse in on themselves, 40 min apart, smell a rat...
+Kneedragon1962 9/11 truthers are as stupid as the flat earthers.
The thing about these conspiracies is they go against all we know about humans, people talk ALWAYS
brian whittle Im not a flat earther. Im very happy weve discovered gravitational waves. Its taken a while, but Einstein was right.
That joke attempt at the beginning was adorable
Glad to know that jet fuel, just like the metric system, helps make the United States different from the rest of the world.
+Physics Videos by Eugene Khutoryansky America NUMBER #1 We are the only country in the world that has Donald Trump. Everyone else in the world is jealous of us for having Trump.

***** ummmmmmm, try google? we have low taxes, a low amount of migration, and a HUGE welfare problem. but the problem is because british people are less likely to work. if it wasnt for immigrants, our economy would collapse
what a great topic! one of those little questions you ask yourself that seems so simple but a little more difficult to find an answer to. Thank you so much for the work and research you put into bringing this information to us. I really enjoyed it.
Jet fuel can't melt steel beams.
Someone was going to do it.
+Damon Winters you stole my "you stole my joke".

I'm impressed at how much info was covered in such a sort period.
Now what do you mean by “period?” 😏
Thanks, this answered most of my questions! You were very thorough and helpful and did the job very well, didn't pause or say UM at all which was VERY appreciated!
But can it melt dank memes?
Kerosene is virtually heating oil which is also used as "Alpine Mix" for diesels in areas above the snowline.
Jets would run quite well on diesel or distillate apart from the fact that it would freeze at altitude. A bit of kero' wont hurt your diesel.
I always wanted to know about this and D News comes though again! Thanks for a great and informative video!
I died a little bit inside when she said, "Jet fuel is much more expensive at over $4 a gallon." I'm sure jet fuel has gone up as well in the past 6 years, but still.
haha, sponsored by Boeing, but Airbus a320 used in thumbnail
Rekt em Gud
Jet fuel can't melt steel beams
Even if we assume you're referring to smaller US gallons, gasoline in the UK currently costs the equivalent of about $5.25 per US gallon (and prices are very low at the moment, has been around $7.90). We also use more diesel cars, so perhaps we could make substantial savings.
I like her pun at the end lol she's so adorable 😊👍
Boss: "the first type of jet fuel is called Jet A. What should we call the second type?"
Employee1: "Jet B?"
Boss: "no that's stupid."
Employee2: "Jet A1?"

Samsul, Jet B is "arctic" jet fuel.

You can't put jet fuel in the car because the steel car will melt.
Cars aren't even made out of steel anymore...
metaltom2003 The other alloys and plastic would melt. They would melt even faster than steel.

post some videos, Julia!
Silky dremes can't melt my silk memes
I used to put AvGas in my modified track car that had no catalytic converters. It definitely wasn't kerosene. It was Sunoco 100LL leaded blue fuel.
In the days before widespread E85 adoption, that's what we used for making more power at the track. It was expensive and required having a buddy at the airport. We also used Sunoco's 110 octane standard leaded race fuel since it was sold in a pump near the track.
Only kerosene-based fuels I know of are heating fuel and jet fuel. The 172N I looked into ran on 100LL.
Nicely explained. Thank you.
Melt beams jet steel cant bush 9/11 did
+PrecisePen jet beams did melt 9/11 steel bush.
you guys in the USA don't seem to have diesel car engines then..................
Jet fuel is basically a better filtered diesel fuel with added stuff to it.
Yup, my Diesel car runs fine on Jet fuel.....if it happens to be lying around ;) . Being an older (simpler) Diesel it also runs on Kerosene/Paraffin, vegetable oil and many other things.
With a kerosine derivative and other additives.
Jet fuel is basically kerosene (liquid parrafin in the UK).
Good preparation thank you
Extremely informative !
Thanks for using the metric system! Keep it up!
+StephanDRX
yes the °C make it easier to understand.
couldnt make it through the whole video tho
what is 4 dollars/gallon?
She said that jet fuel is super expensive and it's still cheaper than normal gas in Finland.
4 dollars per gallon? Jeez, that's normal gas prices in B.C.
Holy crap.... i hate my country.
1 liter(Gasoline) for about 13.50 SKR (= 1,60 USD)
In the US the prices are per gallon (= 3.7 liters) and cost about 2 USD up to 2,7 USD
My car's a diesel, so it will run on Jet A, or JP-5, or any other turbine fuel. That part about lube is correct. Diesel fuel systems are lubricated by fuel, and turbine fuels don't lubricate as well. However, I've heard of people who work at airports and get reject jet fuel for free. They run it in their diesel vehicles and the cost savings in fuel make up for the need to more frequently rebuild injectors and injector pumps. I was also a truck driver during OIF and usually ran the truck on JP-8. It worked fine for the relatively shorter expected life of a truck running convoy missions in a war zone.
Hello Julia! have you folks at Dnews or test tube ever talked about the different methods of extracting bitumen?? Surface mining, SAGD, TAGD, ESEIEH, etc. I think all of them are very interesting and hopefully there can be a video about it :)
Julia makes my heart beat fast
"$4 a gallon" - petrol in India is more expensive
in UK we pay approx 7doller a gallon
+GBmike damn it's $1.62 in Florida where I live and similar prices around the US
+Akshay KR It's about 90 cents per liter right now in ontario, canada.
In my first car in 1986...it was a Toyota Corolla 1974....I put 3/4 gas and 1/4 racing blue in it. That thing would do 120 mph downhill in a hurricane. Actually did do 120 mph...but it was down a large hill on our bypass...no hurricane though.
Daehawk holy shit damn.
I can already feel the dank memes coming.
3:02 Giggity.
LOL
Gig gig
jet fuel can melt steal beams
Nice one.thanx forvthe vid
Some manufacturers of small aircraft have begun making Diesel aircraft. The idea is that Jet A is actually about $1 cheaper per gallon than AVGAS. Most piston aircraft run on AVGAS. The aircraft diesel engines have oil reservoirs for lubrication. Just like with anything else, the downside with diesel engines is that they cost a lot of extra cash.
Thank God we know how to travel through worm holes.
+Alien Grey You're everywhere
" super expensive over 4$ a gallon" lol shut up 1 liter is 1,40 euros here for normal petrol
I wish this video had been up some years ago when a customer demanded that I sell them Jet A for their jetski. It would have saved me an hour on the phone explaining the difference between Avgas, Mogas, Jet A, and Diesel.
What you explained about Flashpoint is simular to octane ratings. The higher the octane the more resistant to premature detonation which is primarily caused by having a larger/smaller flash point. This is why using premium fuels on a normal car is a waste of money because you shihld only used premium when you need it, it's not better for your engine unless it's rated for high octane.
Knew the 9/11 jokes were coming
Too bad the people in the wtc didnt
Matthew Aronson this is no joke is the truth
Do a video on why battery cars are worse than gas cars.
They aren't so they won't.
I was learning about this in chemistry last week.
Video is good, especially the start
3:01 That's what she said.
It's really what she said.
Ok.
Can you make a series of video or a video in Metallurgy.... like types of steels used in automobile and aluminium, titanium etc...???
great video but wtf was that in the beginning😂😂
Car fuel can melt steel beams
The main difference is that jet fuel melts steel.
Ahh, but kerosene won't, lol.
olli tuovinen wrong
Probably the best 3 seconds of my life
Good information
I always thought that if you put jet fuel in a car the car would fly.
Yup. Fly into the car dealership for expensive repairs.
Jet fuel can't melt steel beams, THATS WHAT!
+SuperGameEskimo
But it can get the steel half way to the melting point causing it to lose 90% of its strenght.
+InqWiper there's no room for your logic here. BD9
+SuperGameEskimo
That's very true, however with an enormous amount of heat, (even if not up to the melting point), Steel becomes much more pliable (ductile). Combine that with the fact that the steel was subjected to such loading while it was as at such temperature, yields the conclusion that jet fuel can't melt beams, but with moderate heat and pressure, can certainly deform them.
+InqWiper r u serious? hahaha
sir willy
What's wrong about what I said?
Julia's so awesome, DNews is the best. Tell us about Magnetic-levitation trains please :-)
wow beautiful and smart. very informative video
This is slightly misleading. Try to avoid calling it "airplane" fuel,. Its jet fuel, because there are 2 types of "airplane fuel"; Avgas and Avtur ( jet fuel).
Because you can in fact put Avgas, which is a fuel for prop planes, into cars to overboost it (racers use this).
Julia or lissete??? Post in comments
Amy
+Rachel Ross WHY NOT BOTH!?
+Julia Wilde ha
Julia!
+Julia Wilde >Why not both?< Because like Highlander, there can only be *one*. I'm putting my money on Amy. Her prowess in astrophysics will be hard to match.
very nice....the subject is nice too
Oh good! You got your voice back.
Not "explosion". "Combustion".
Well... Jet fuel can't melt steel beams
My sisters a pilot and works line crew at our local air field..well one night I picked her up on an empty tank (oops) My car died on a deserted desert road in BFE. The only assistance we could find at 3 am was her co worker who ran graveyard.He'd already shut down the pumps for the night..but luckily there was a little jet fuel in a gas can on one of the work trucks ..I figured it's either that or we spend the night in a hanger or the empty road. Anyhow, put jet fuel into my Honda and she roared to life and seriously drove like a beast to the nearest gas station (avgas is sooo not good for the engine no matter how it seems). Anyhow..cars CAN run on jet fuel. but after a full tank, maybe two..your engine would be toast. It wasn't a diesel either.
great video
Car fuel can't melt stolen memes
The shorter and longer hydrocarbon chain is good. It might also be an idea to show a diagram of a fuel cracking tower, and explain that petrol comes off a level or two above diesel / kerosene.
***** I think this is what you want...

Thank you
Prepare for the 9/11 jokes
Oh god they're already here
9/11 jokes are plane wrong
+Manuel Sosa you are the problem
+Oliver Dong haha "dong"
why America use different jet fuel then rest of the world?
Because 'Murica...
They still use their freedom units, so it's the American exceptionalism in play LoL
Seriously now: This Seeker Channel Has many times passed misinformation to the general public, actually The US uses both Jet A and Jet A-1, not
just Jet A, which has predominance due to lower cost. In other words,
both can be found, both are defined under ASTM D 1655. In fact Jet B is
used in particularly cold climates like Alaska, as well as in Northern
Canada where the only way to get there in Winter is often by plane (and
Canadian Jet B is different from American Jet B). There are far more jet fuels than just Jet A in the US. As said before, Jet A-1 and Jet A can be found, and there are several military grades notably JP-8 which is similar to Jet A-1.
Manpet Epetrop all this info is overkill looks like it's just too much complicated for me.
Well it's actually quite simple:
Jet-A1 differs mainly from Jet-A in the freeze point of the fuel -47C vs. -40C respectively. The reason for this is due to the colder international flights relative to flights in the continental US historically. When these standards were created the majority of international flights were flown in Europe, Northern Asia, and Japan which is colder than the continental US on average. Hence, the lower freeze point standard. Once a standard is created in a space with huge capital investments and premiums on safety, change happens very slowly and conservatively.
Coz they took their jobs!
So that its capable of melting steel beams ? O.o
Hey Julia how's it going you forgot to mention the octane rating in these fuels as a diesel mechanic octane levels are important when we're diagnosing engines cars also have an octane rating and I imagine jet engine fuel would too and it also depends on its flash point
Julia, on point as usual
jet fuel is used because its cheaper than gasoline not because its safer
Not exactly. It has allso more energy per weight. You need less for the same amount of heat.
Loudvic Palamara
Jet fuel v gasoline? Safety?
Jet is much safer. Far less explosive.
(And I've been in a plane crash. And am thankful it wasn't 110 octane.)
Matekochkoch is correct jet fuel does have more energy per weight. Im sorry to hear you've been in a plane crash Larry Scott and im glad you survived because of jet A, but trust me if 100ll fuel was cheaper the airplanes today would probably run on it. Jet engines can and will run on 100ll the difference being that you're fuel pump will wear out early since the fuel has less lubricating properties.
Loudvic Palamara
Turbine engines have such a higher reliability. The lubricating aspect isn't so important to a turbine engine. But it does effect fuel pump life. (Turbines can burn 100LL, it's of course not recommended. In PT6 I think it's limited to 100 hrs and maintenance becomes an issue due to lead and fuel pump life.) energy density is the driving economic force.
I noticed that all military vehicles can burn jet fuel. JP1. One fuel for all.
+Loudvic Palamara Jet engines could run on 110 octane gas, but you would have to (a) redesign the engines somewhat to take into account the different burning characteristics and (b) _completely change everything about fueling. At room temperature, gasoline produces enough flammable vapor in the air to ignite. Which means that if you pass a flame anywhere near it, especially on a hot day, it goes off.
Kerosene on the other hand, does not have enough vapor pressure at normal temperatures to ignite. In fact, you can extinguish a match or even a torch by quenching it (well, don't take too long immersing it) in kerosene.
My parents had (it's probably in my basement now), a fireplace lighter that consisted of a chunk of pumice (porous rock) on a handle, plus a small pot you filled with kerosene. Dunk the pumice in the pot, wait a few minutes for it to soak up kerosene, pull the handle out, and light the kerosene-soaked pumice with a match. It didn't start fast, but it started eventually, and produces a nice tame flame. Start the fireplace with it.
Then, you want to pull the starter out of the fire, and it's still got burning kerosene on it. What do you do? Simply plunk the burning end _back_ in the kerosene. The fire goes out.
Now try that with gasoline if you dare. Chances are your house catches on fire when you try to light the thing. If it doesn't actually set the house on fire, the fire on the pumice will NOT be tame. if you try to quench it in a pot of gasoline, you get a fireball as the whole thing goes up.
That's why kerosene (and diesel) are so safe: low vapor pressure.
I need to date Julia so badly
nothing better than a lovely red head talking about fuel and cars ;)
My dad said that he used to put jet fuel in to his motorbike, when properly adjusted it was waaay better than any kind of petrol he said and a lot more fun to drive. That was many years ago, but the fact is that bike wasn't designed for the jet fuel -)
damn! you are cute! you should be a Victoria's Secrets Model.
You just want to see her in her underwear
Simp ass
Sooo... anyone gonna explain why she laughed like a crazy yet incredibly sexy vixen in the beginning?
😏
3:02 great general life advice, kids
Haha the best video start ever! :D Do that fake laugh more often ;)
Simpass
I work for an aircraft fuelling company, we fuel airliners, and we run our pump trucks and tankers on jet fuel.
She's friggin gorgeous! And that intro was perfectly performed. Bravo!
Jet fuel is actually cheaper then 100LL, which is the airplane equivalent of car gas (for piston powered airplanes). Most jets and turboprops can actually run on 100LL (though not well), but if you put jet fuel in a piston airplane the engine will quit. Legend has it that this actually happened to the famous aviator Bob Hoover when someone accidentally put jet fuel in his plane and he had to make an emergency landing.
We have to use fuel temperature prediction charts when flying polar routes to/from Asia. We can fly through some areas below -40 but too long and it congeals. Good times when all you see are polar bears below you.
actually, it depends whether the car runs on diesel or gasoline. Diesel shares more properties with kerosene and can and is used, especially in cold regions of the world. It is normally stained red, so police can easily check if your car is filled with kerosene, as you need a permit to be able to use this type of fuel.
Without watching I can say it's how well its refined and additives.
Here in Britain most vehicles are diesel. Yes jet fuel is very similar to diesel and might not ignite in a gasoline engine. If you take a tray and pour Jet-A1 in it and threw in a match, it won't ignite (same with diesel). Freezing jet fuel on aircraft isn't an uncommon problem, especially when taking off from cold countries. To prevent this, the flight crew can either fly faster to heat the body up by friction with the air or reduce altitude.
One can't melt steel beams.
Also, nice Seinfeld reference at the start.
One can’t melt dank memes
That 'Brought to you by Boeing' at the end is just lol
"Also jet fuel is super expensive often over $4 a gallon." I live in New York. Until just recently $4 a gallon was actually a pretty good deal. I understand the point being made it just made me do a double take.
Can you explain how a train engine works? That includes coal, diesel and electric by the way! And explain how the wheels have such little traction on the rails but can move a huge train! Thanks Dnews!
Fuel Beams cant melt jet steal?
Nah, Fuel Units can't melt dank memes.
If jet A1 freezes at a lower temperature, why do we use jet A in the US? Is it more efficient?
lol this remind me of a family guy episode. Where petter put jet fuel in his car.😂
When she said that jet fuel is expensive and gave the price of 4 dollars a gallon I thought "please, I live in the mountains of California. That's less than I spend on gas."
there are also Avgas 100RON, and you actually could use premium gasoline instead 97/988RON
wasnt the table of fuels like this: methane, propane-butane, kerosine, gas, diesel, and that greasy fuel used for big ships? the higher on the table the more you are likely to ignite with spark and lower means by pressuring, thus heating, thus igniting?
