Global Trek to offer JP-8 at EGAA

[sneaky_nikon]

Via FB post, Global Trek are advertising the availability of JP-8 fuel at Aldergrove. I wonder if it'll bring us more or different visitors? I presume they must think there's a market.

A little bit of explination as to what JP-8 is and does...

The USAFreplaced JP-4 with JP-8 completely by the end of 1995, to use a less flammable, less hazardous fuel for better safety and combat survivability.In 2014, they completed the process of converting all JP-8 installations within the continental US to use commercial Jet A-1 fuel with additional additives.Installations in Alaska still utilize JP-8 in place of Jet A-1 because of its better suitability in cold weather environments.

Beyond use in vehicles from trucks to tanks to planes, JP-8 is used in U.S. Army heaters and stoves.
