> Jet fuel is just kerosene. Why do you say it's hellaciously toxic? It's pretty similar to other fuels like gasoline. Indeed. Jet fuel is quite similar to diesel oil, except it's slightly more volatile (on average slightly shorter hydrocarbon chains). To the point it's possible to run (some, not all) diesel engines on jet fuel. > In rural areas you can buy kerosene at gas stations, there are no special precautions above and beyond the same ones used for gasoline for cars. There's also kerosene as in lamp oil, or used as cooking fuel e.g. in camping equipment. That is a specially refined very pure form of kerosine. You shouldn't use jet fuel in your camping stove. > Perhaps you're thinking of fuel for fighter jets? Because some of those can be incredibly toxic. Some fighter jets (F-16 at least) used hydrazine (which is incredibly toxic) for some emergency power generation turbine. But the main fuel is still normal jet fuel. Though the military version of jet fuel (JP-8) contains some additives, but the effect of those is quite minor.
