Commercial jet aircraft are usually fueled with Jet A1 which has a flashpoint of 38�C (100�F). So it does not take that much to get it going. For less flammable alternative, use JP5, which has a flashpoint of 60�C and is generally used on shipboard military operations. If you�d like extra margin on your diesel safety, order JP5 instead of the usual junk.
