MIL-DTL-83133H
This specification is approved for use by all Departments and Agencies of the Department of Defense.
1. SCOPE
1.1 Scope. This specification covers three grades of kerosene type aviation turbine fuel, JP-8
(NATO F-34), NATO F-35, and JP-8+100 (NATO F-37). 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 (see 6.1) 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.
1.2 Classification. Aviation turbine fuel will be of the following grades, as specified (see 6.2).
Grade
NATO Code No.
