I am an aircraft mechanic and have access to free Jet A which is kerosene, the fuel we sump out of aircraft to get rid of water. Water sinks to the bottom and is visible, i pour it out and filter it until i get to the water. We sump a lot of aircraft. Management refuses to reuse this fuel, because it would have to be filtered. The bowser would have to have a maintenance manual writen for it. And records kept for it. Some of us take some, the rest the company pays to get rid of. I have burned it in my salamander heater. My question is, i know it can be burned in a deisel engine, but will it damage a deisel? Is there any additives that can be put it it for lubrication? I know very little about deisel engines or diesel fuel. Thanks.
