WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU PUT JET FUEL IN YOUR CAR? HERE IS THE ANSWER !

Jet fuel more precisely known as “Jet-A”which can be understood as lead-free kerosene, much closer in structure to diesel fuel. Due to this characteristics,it can be used to fuel Turbine Engines as well as the Compression Engines. However, due to lack of lubrication properties, jet fuel will damage the engine.

  

The second factor that should be considered is that jet fuel has high heat content but car engines are not designed for it. Jet fuel does not vaporize very easily which creates problem in ignition in case of spark ignition engine.

It will be similar case of using diesel in a petrol engine. Some engines might endure this combination of fuels for some time, followed by misfires and eventually coming to a halt. Due to heavy nature of the Jet fuel, it will damage the fuel pump and the engine at large.

According to Manuel Martinez-Sanchez, an aeronautics and astronautics professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the diesel engine might work using liquid Hydrogen. However, the temperature it requires is a staggering –432°F, hence the car engine would eventually freeze. Unfortunately, cars are not meant to go faster on Jet Fuel.

In conclusion, the car wouldn’t start in case of spark-ignition engines, wouldn’t run, and might catch fire. It might run for a small duration in case of diesel engines, but not without causing long-term damage.
