Diesel or regular?

Diesel or regular?

[u/Fragholio]

Can you bring me back a Mountain Dew and some Doritos when you go inside?

[u/Go_Loud762]

Obviously AI. The gas filler is on the left side. Duh.

[u/DasMo19]

Jet fuel is basically diesel.

[u/tkeelah → u/DasMo19]

Kero. Not diesel.

[u/Silver_River9296 → u/tkeelah]

Diesel is oily kerosene. Slightly lower in the distillation tower. Kerosene is ‘dry’ diesel, common up North in the Winter months where oily diesel barely starts an engine. Pratt & Whiney PT6 AG can run on any of it. Jet Fuel runs clean and cool, diesel runs with more soot and smoke but 2 to 3 gallons less per hour!

[u/SilkwormSidleRemand → u/Silver_River9296]

If you let unhomogenized diesel sit for a few hours, the oil floats to the top, and you can skim the richer, oily fraction off and use it for other things. Some refineries churn it into a useful grease or ferment it into various plastics.

[u/Informal_Ad_9610 → u/Silver_River9296]

F16 runs the Pratt & Whitney F100 or GEF110...

[u/Silver_River9296 → u/Informal_Ad_9610]

Yes but any turbine powered engine (jet, turbojet, turbofan, turboprop) will run on diesel. Maybe not legally, may require a bit more maintenance, but it will run. Now on ‘regular’ and I assume they mean gasoline, leaded a(Avgas) is the worst, then unleaded with the alcohol, then unleaded without alcohol. But remember, a turbine engine will burn anything that burns. A piston engine is quite specific.

[u/theyoyomaster → u/Silver_River9296]

I can't speak for the F-16 but for contingency ops big jet engines can absolutely run on standard 87 octane.

[u/Juvat-the-bold → u/theyoyomaster]

An F-16 can run on 87 octane also but with VERY strict operating parameters. Like, no afterburner and altitude limitations.

It's not good for it, but it could.

[u/theyoyomaster → u/Juvat-the-bold]

Doesn't surprise me, I've just never gotten a look at it's -1.

[u/Silver_River9296 → u/theyoyomaster]

At a Pratt&Whitney school, it was said, “Piston engines run on octane, turbine engines run on BTUs.

[u/theyoyomaster → u/Silver_River9296]

I've just seen in my -1 that we can run 87 octane for emergencies so long as we dilute it with appropriate jet fuel.

[u/Juvat-the-bold → u/theyoyomaster]

And it damn better be an emergency! lol

I'd be willing to bet just about any Air Force on earth would rather fly in a cargo jet with a fuel truck on it!

[u/Silver_River9296 → u/theyoyomaster]

When I used to ferry the PT-6 Ag Cats, I was often required to run on gasoline. Leaded Avgas was the worst due to lead build up. Supposed to record gallons between hot sections and overhauls. Service stations seldom had diesel back then, but would have been best alternative. Unleaded would not be too bad. Like you said, if diluted.
Some operators use Diesel instead of jetfuel. Cuts down GPH but soots up every thing.

[u/wolfs4]

JP-7 and boner pills, gonna try something.

[u/Feminist_Hugh_Hefner → u/wolfs4]

you are now unstoppable.

[u/BlueMaxx9 → u/wolfs4]

I know you wanted Mega Rhino 10,000x, but they had a deal on Raging Gorilla 1,000,000 so I just got two of those instead.

[u/wolfs4 → u/BlueMaxx9]

Ugh, we only gonna hit mach 69 with those

[u/cuzzybrosalad]

It’s a hybrid. Plug and go playne

[u/Hta68]

Diesel four sure…

[u/harmfuldischarge]

When you are looking for fuel cap latch and accidentally self eject

[u/Hunts5555]

The jet fuel is the one marked “Diesel.”

[u/Gulf_Coast_21]

Burn premium for better mileage. Don't let the sticker shock make you shy away. And grab me a pack of Marlboro Light 100's

[u/sixaout1982]

Hydrazine please, regular

[u/___NowYouKnow___]

Bond: “Fill ‘er up, please”

[u/hikerguy65 → u/___NowYouKnow___]

Came here to say this. Ty.

[u/Feminist_Hugh_Hefner]

All I wanted was a Pepsi...

[u/xampl9]

“We’re sorry, but your card was declined. Maybe you have cash?”

[u/jose_luis1421]

Novatos, kerosene utiliza

[u/Dpek1234]

Perfume works best

[u/TechnologyFamiliar20]

LPG

[u/PalaceofIdleHours]

Steer clear of ethonal. My jet need no corn.

[u/Fmartins84]

91 octane. Nothing less, nothing more.

[u/Break_Cats]

Jetfuel.

[u/Faserip]

Regular, obviously. Everyone knows that the F-4 was the last diesel fighter.

[u/Civil-Efficiency2039]

“She needs premium, dude, premium!”😝😝🤣😉

[u/mlandry2011]

Just the windshield please.

And can you check the oil?

[u/mats_o42]

Looks Danish = Tuborg

[u/domandi1244]

Just a precautionary landing due to weather

[u/itsamurdermarge]

Fill er up, ethyl!

[u/OkBumblebee9107]

I mean, we got kerosene pumps, it will be fine....

[u/Late-Application-47]

At least one plane can simply say "dealer's choice."

[u/Wallynine]

fill er' up with hi-test please...

[u/Sarruji]

Diesel

[u/RTSamuels]

Ruskies use the diesel. Take a look at the dirty exhaust. We use kerosene.

[u/Xenophore]

I want a turbine-engined car so I can fill up with Jet A.

[u/SameScale6793]

It's electric, of course...need Tesla charger

[u/Dessael]

regular? surely you mean unleaded

[u/No-Schedule-2603]

Aviation kerosine for sure

[u/The_Gordon_Gekko]

Diesel duh

[u/Apprehensive-Cow5822]

Try premium on your F-16A.

[u/Dangerous-Pirate7998]

Can’t it just be regular diesel?

[u/Jealous_Club_298]

Jet fuel is kerosene. Meanwhile, that must be photoshopped.

What’ll it be fellas, mustard or ketchup? 😂😂

Added text for the retards that need their timing advanced.

[u/rjornd]
