@onceuponattimei @NickDon44251573 @GinieSigonney The old MOD 700 is basically a logbook. Easier than explaining quickly how the system works! Leading particulars usually covers it. Interestingly some are even authorised to run on AVGAS. (Petrol, gas, pump gas? Whatever you call it around the world)

@NickDon44251573 @RobGT81 @GinieSigonney not logbooks ...operations manuals. but they usually have restrictions on how long they can operate on diesel between engine overhaul.

“Most people imagine jet fuel as something extremely explosive.
In reality, it's designed to be surprisingly stable.
Commercial airliners use Jet-A, which is essentially highly refined kerosene — chemically much closer to diesel fuel than petrol.
One key property is its high flash point, around 38°C.
That means at normal temperatures it won't ignite easily from a spark or small flame.
This stability is intentional, reducing fire risk during refuelling, storage, and normal operations.
Jet engines don't rely on volatile fuel vapour like car engines. Instead, fuel is atomised into a fine mist and burned continuously inside the combustor, where airflow and pressure sustain the flame.
Piston aircraft use something very different.
Smaller aircraft engines typically run on Avgas 100LL(aviation gasoline).
Unlike Jet-A, this fuel is much more volatile, behaving more like automotive petrol.
It also still contains tetraethyl lead, which helps prevent engine knocking in high-compression piston aircraft engines.
Because of this, Avgas is one of the last leaded fuels still widely used anywhere in the world.
Bonus fact most people don't realise:
Jet fuel must remain usable at extremely low temperatures. At cruising altitude the outside air can be around -55°C, so Jet-A is formulated with a freeze point near -47°C to ensure it keeps flowing through the aircraft's fuel system.”

@BenObeseJecty Trying to deflect away from the thousands of white children raped and tortured by Muslims? This hasn't gone well for you.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Iranian woman goes BERSERK on a smug white liberal who is supporting the Islamic regime
"Convince me of WHAT? Of R*PE?! Of women not having rights?! I am Iranian, I've been imprisoned by that regime!"
"Iranians are ASKING for the bombs! Iranian youth are asking to be bombed, and you are standing here SUPPORTING a terrorist regime! What are you DOING supporting a terrorist regime?!"
*Lib spouts off about Palestine*
"This has NOTHING to do with Palestine. This is about a terrorist regime in MY COUNTRY."
"I can't even go see my father's grave!!"
Mad props to this woman! White liberals are clueless, all over the world.

Watch this brave Iranian woman absolutely school a clueless Western so-called activist.
It is utterly embarrassing to see white European women, who enjoy absolute freedom and equal rights, stand in the streets of the UK to protect a misogynistic, terrorist regime that beats, tortures, and kills women for asking equality.
Hypocrisy at the highest level!!
