yes, the fumes that the aircrafts produces condenses in water and creates an acid affect. this than contaminates the water in is unable to drink or use unless cleaned using maybe a teaspoon of bleach or high speed liquid separator. i recommend not trying this for it may be dangerous.

Does jet fuel cause pollution?

Jet fuel is capable of polluting, just as gasoline is.


Why does jet fuel float on water?

Jet fuel is less dense than water, causing it to float on the surface. This is due to the fact that jet fuel consists of hydrocarbons that are lighter than water molecules. The difference in density between the two substances creates the floating effect.


Can jet fuel cause raynaud phenomenom?

This is not common, as fuel does not restrict blood or oxygen to the fingers.


What has a higher boiling point than jet fuel?

water


Why is kerosene used as jet fuels instead of petrol?

It is not kerosene but a kerosene type fuel used in jets or aircraft. Jet fuel is a mixture of various hydrocarbons. Jet fuel must be free from water contamination. Synthetic Jet fuel and Jet biofuels are used in different airways. Chemically they are not exactly same as kerosene or petrol.


How do airplanes cause pollution?

They use vast quantities of aviation fuel - which throws out huge amounts of waste gasses - including un-burnt fuel - into the atmosphere. This is known to deplete the ozone layer, which protects us from harmful radiation.


What kind of fuel does water bombers use?

Water bombers usually have turbine engines and they work close to water, so the proper fuel will be jet fuel with the fuel additive Prist, which encapsulates water, in it.


Which fuel is used in jet air crafts?

Jet fuel, sometimes called Jet A, JP4 or JP8. It is a very pure form of kerosene with a few other materials added to remove water.


What makes jet fuel weigh less than water?

Its density


Why aviation turbine fuel is used only for aircraft?

Jet fuel is actually very similar to Diesel fuel as they both are kerosene based. However Jet fuel is better refined in order to have as little water in it as possible.


What is in jet fuel?

Jet fuel is kerosene base turbine aviation fuel


At what temperature does jet fuel freeze at?

Jet A fuel, the most common type of jet fuel freezes at −40 °C (-40°F) However the problem does not arise in practice as most modern jet aircraft are equipped with in-pipeline fuel heaters which maintain the temperature of the fuel lines so as to prevent any gelling or freezing of the fuel. Indeed, a much more concerning phenomena is the freezing of water-ice crystals in the fuel, as water has a much higher freezing point, and can clog fuel lines. Nowadays almost all jet fuel is treated with special additives which, among other things, prevent the formation of these ice crystals.
