REFLECTOR: 11,500 data for the DH engine

[gattenby at GBRonline.com]

I don't know about diesel...
But for car gas most of below is true.
The gas the Texico in houston puts in the pipeline is very
much
like the gas that Sunco puts in the pipeline system here in
tulsa.

The differance in the gas at the pump is that as they put
gas in the tanker truck for delivery to the individual store
they put in a wide variatiy of additives many of them "brand
specific".

I know that diesel has additives such as anti-gell, do these
addiditives vary from brand to brand? season to season?
state to state?

as JP stated jet A is supposed to be jet A around the world.
