Flypuppy,
JP8+100 is a additive designed to improve the thermal stabilty of jet fuel.It is added at a ratio of 1 to 4000. It is currently being used by the USAF and the Danish Air Force, many other air forces are also evaluating the product. It is also being evaluated in three KLM 747 aircraft to see if benefits can be identified in civil use i.e. SFC improvement, emissions, reduced maintenance costs etc.
It is being sold outside the US by one of the UK oil companies.Drop me an e-mail if you want further tech info.
p.s. JP8 will be around with the military for at least another decade
