What is a Fuel? Fuel is any material that stores potential energy in a form that can be practicably released and used as heat energy. Chemical fuels are divided in two ways. First, by their physical properties, as a solid, liquid or gas. Secondly, on the basis of their occurrence: primary (natural fuel) and secondary (artificial fuel). Fuel oil is made of long hydrocarbon chains, particularly alkanes, cycloalkanes and aromatics. Table of alkanes

Jet fuel
|
What kind of fuel do jets use?
Jet fuel is a clear to straw-colored fuel, based on either an unleaded kerosene (Jet A-1), or a naphtha-kerosene blend (Jet B). It is similar to diesel fuel, and can be used in either compression ignition engines or turbine engines. Here are further guidelines. |
