I have a buddy with a '07 6.7 cummins with the dpf and is wanting to run some of the Jet A fuel I can get. He is concerned about it causing problems with the dpf. I would think he would be ok with some added lubrication. Anyone have any info on any possible problems?
 
closer to kerosene, Jet-A possibly can be used but needs to be blended with Nr-2 or run with an additive as it doesn't have lubricity of Nr2, also may have red dye in the fuel which can get you into trouble, now in my 6.5 on occasion at our test cell I have transported waste Jet-A , and disposed of it properly so as to not have to call in a hazmat disposal company. But a 6.5 is only running 2200 psi injection, not sure I'd risk it in a 07 CRD with high injecttion pressure needing max lubricity and still having to worry if warranty will be honored.

There isn't any dye in Jet A. It is a different color than ulsd though. It is straw color. I mix 2 cycle oil at 16 oz to about 20 gal of Jet with a dose of Power Service too. My truck runs fine like this. I would think that Jet A would be more refined than ulsd and with lube it would be about the same as far as the dpf is concerned. My buddy keeps jumping back and forth over the fence about this and I'm just trying to give him good info.
