In a daring experiment sponsored by AG1, Cleetus McFarland and the crew decided to push the boundaries by putting jet fuel in a diesel car. The team, led by the charismatic Tyler, took on the challenge with a Galaxy car featuring a 12-valve Cummins engine that had seen its fair share of nitrous abuse in the past. With Dr. Chris Fix on board to shed light on the differences between jet fuel and diesel, the stage was set for an adrenaline-pumping test of performance and endurance.

Extracting jet fuel from a helicopter, the team compared its properties to diesel, highlighting crucial variances in lubricity and sulfur content. As the Galaxy car underwent dyno testing, the results were nothing short of intriguing - with diesel clocking in at 432 horsepower and 632 torque. The switch to jet fuel saw a slight increase in power and torque, sparking discussions on the potential cooling effect of the unconventional fuel choice.

The high-octane action continued with a jet fuel burnout and a heart-pounding nitrous test, revealing the challenges of running a diesel car on jet fuel. As the engine struggled to start due to excess fuel, the team's determination and expertise shone through as they managed to get it back on track. The unique experience of witnessing a diesel car roar to life on jet fuel, accompanied by added nitrous, left enthusiasts and experts alike on the edge of their seats, showcasing the thrill of pushing boundaries in the world of automotive experimentation.
