Question Jet fuel

I heard from an expierinced driver that he buys small amounts of jet fuel and fills his tank up with regular fuel then pours about 1 cup of the jet fuel in and says it makes a very noticable difference. the question is will it mess up nething in my car if i do that

What the heck is an "expierinced driver"?

Given the ratio, I don't think this would be a problem.

Jet fuel ("AvTur") is high grade kerosene (jet turbines burn kerosene).
Kerosene lowers the octane rating of the gasoline in your tank.
1 cupfull is a tiny amount (compared to 16 gallons), so you would not notice anything.

Re: Jet fuel

I wouldn't notice much except the potential to clog fuel filters, injectors, and lower the output of the engine.

Re: Jet fuel

definately a bad idea. Run stp every other fill up, and if u want an octane boost, BUY OCTANE BOOSTER, availible at just about any local auto store.

I imagine it wouldn't be too friendly on your catalytic converter either...
