Ive been using Jet A in my turbines for a few years and due to the smell of Jet A was wondering if it would be ok to run my turbines on house central heating fuel

Check your manual or with the turbine manufacture. I was wondering myself about using Kerosene K-1 and with a little bit of research I was able to find out that I'm good to go. Personally I like the smell of Jet A but the idea of burning a little cleaner by using Kerosene K-1 (less sulfur contaminants) intrigued me.

Cheers,

as I understand it, it is ok to run Jet A or K-1. only difference is, Jet A has the additives where it will stay fresh longer in the container, not growing any algee

Do a search on here. I had the same thread a few months ago and it was pretty detailed.

Cheer's for that by all accounts im fine to go but will do a search to confirm thanks to those who posted

Yo Mat , go with the K1 but make sure the pump or tank says K1. They sell a heating grade kero at some service stations, you can tell it's not K1 because it has dye in it. It's dark ,not clear like K1. It also has a higher sulfer content. I bought 5 gal. of it and gave it away when I realized my mistake. Doug

Hey Matt,

K-1 is the way to go! This week it went on sale here in the west at Home Depot for half price, ten dollars for a five gallon can!

okay next question the stuff i have availible localy is called homeglow 28 im not sure if this is the same as k1 or is this the stuff that has high sulphur content if so ill have to go back to smelly Jet A

I checked my local Home Depot and they don't have K-1. Any other places you all have gotten it?
Thanks,
Chris

Lowes! To help you get rid of the fuel smell, just buy some fabric softener sheets and stuff one or two up the tailpipe, when not in use.

Good luck.
