Notes: JP-8 is currently used as arctic grade diesel fuel
(DFA) in the Arctic and Antarctic for heating fuel. The
gross heating value of JP-8 is 18,400 Btu/lb (42 800
kJ/kg).
DF-1, winter grade diesel fuel, has a flash point of 100
degrees F (38 degrees C) and a viscosity of 1.4 to 2.6 x
10-5 ft2/s (1.3 to 2.4 cSt) at 104 degrees F (40 degrees
C).
