Product overview

JP-8 is the primary military jet fuel used by the United States Air Force and most NATO air forces. It is essentially Jet A-1 with military-specific additives including corrosion inhibitors, icing inhibitors, and anti-static additives. JP-8 has largely replaced JP-4 due to its lower flammability and reduced fire hazard.
