WARNING
________
Never mix JP-4 turbine fuel with other fuels outside of vehicle
fuel tank. Any mixing should be done by adding fuels to fuel
tank. JP-4 turbine fuels are highly combustible and may
explode, resulting in injury to personnel.
CAUTION
______
If engine runs rough when using any emergency fuel, add 10%
to 30% diesel fuel to smooth engine performance. Failure to add
diesel fuel may result in damage to pistons, clogging of fuel fil-
ter, and early failure of fuel injectors.
