[Vwdiesel] Low Sulfer Diesel Blamed for School Closings

[Justin and Michella Bennett]

Jet A.  Just make sure you put a little lube in it.  Have to admit that 
I haven't been brave enough to mix much above 3 gallons of diesel to 1 
gallon of Jet A, along with some 2 stroke oil.  Wait until I have better 
instrumentation on one of the diesels before I get to carried away with 
hotter mixes.  One of the guys at work runs almost straight Jet in an IH 
tractor.
