Thumbs up Jet fuel in Diesel engines

Many years ago the US Navy wanted to standardize fuel for jets and Diesel engines. They ran a lot of tests and they gave up on the idea because of failures of the fuel pumps and on unit injectors. They tried putting lubricants in the fuel but they generated a lot of smoke.
