SR-71 fuel was JP-7 and was thinner so it wouldn't gel at high altitude and fail to flow.
When I worked on KC-10 tankers we used a isolation valve to seperate the center wing tank from the rest of the aircraft, the tank would be drained and purged of JP-8 and the valve closed and the switch pinned, the tank was then fueled with the 7, that fuel we would give to the SR-71. If by chance some bonehead would pull the pin and move the switch the whole process would have to be repeated and the fuel in the tank would just be mixed back with the JP-8 and called 8. We wound not take any chance of the SR-71's getting the wrong gas, lost lives and aircraft would be the result. Van
