MIL-DTL-38219 Turbine Fuel, Low Volatility, Jp-7This specification covers one grade of aviation turbine fuel designated as JP-7. This specification was thoroughly reviewed as a part of acquisition reform. While most of the requirements were converted to performance terms, due to the military-unique nature of the product and the need for compatibility with deployed systems, it was determined that not all requirements could be converted. The issuance of this specification as "detail" is not intended to constrain technology advances in future systems.
