Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting Training Fuel Comparative Evaluation

The Federal Aviation Administration William J. Hughes Technical Center's ARFF research program conducted a comparative evaluation of one of the existing fuels for training (JP8) and two recently developed products produced specifically for fire fighting training by Exxon Chemical Company and Envirofuel Incorporated. Both of the new training products showed major improvements in reducing the production of environmentally harmful by-products. Data indicate that the Exxon product produced the least amount of smoke output and contaminated water runoff.
