Jet fuel has a lower flash point,, burns hotter and faster and is a cleaner
oil..In the cracking process or distilling of crude, jet fuel is between # 1
diesel fuel and gasoline.
Goes like # 4 furnace oil # 2 furnace oil or called diesel fuel, # 1 fuel
oil , kerosene, gasoline. There are other products in between but these are
the fueling products. Hope this helps. Doug
