    Nope. Avgas is high octane petroleum.
    I ran it in my street car years ago...

    it would probably run ok especially in a td5 , but it would be terribly expensive.

    I always knew jet fuel as avtur or is that just military?

    that will run the old Fordson tractors very well.

    Once temps drop below a certain point down the Antarctic we would change all diesel vehicles to SAB (Special Antarctic Blend). Then when temps dropped even further change to Jet A-1. Have forgotten the temps that dictated the changes.

    Reason being that at low temps some parts of what makes diesel fuel solidify out as waxes etc.

    The Jet A-1 didn't seem to do any damage - but then again the vehicles were not high speed, high mileage, road burners.

    Insightful

    Yep - the plan after 14mths in the Antarctic was to bum around the equator on holiday for at least 6mths. That stretched to 9mths of holiday. Decided I liked it here, so got a job.

    Now more than 17yrs in total have passed ... In that time have added to the getting of a job: the getting of a wife, the getting of a son, the getting of a Defender. All bring me joy.
