Jet fuel
Refined Production / Aviation Kerosene
Aviation kerosene is a specialized type of petroleum-based fuel used to power aircraft. It is generally of higher quality than regular fuel. Therefore, there are strict quality and safety requirements for refining aviation fuels.
UCL Energy Group offers jet fuel prices at a competitive production price. Request the current pricing sheet from our authorized operational agents.
Aviation Turbine Fuel
Aviation Fuels are Fuels Used for Aircraft Propulsion
Aviation fuel designs for use in aircraft powered by gas-turbine engines. It is colorless to straw-colored in appearance. The most commonly used fuels for commercial aviation are Jet A and Jet A-1, which are produced to a standardized international specification.
The only other jet fuel commonly used in civilian turbine-engine-powered aviation is Jet B, which is used for its enhanced cold-weather performance.
Jet fuel is a mixture of a variety of hydrocarbons. Because the exact composition of jet fuel varies widely based on petroleum source, it is impossible to define jet fuel as a ratio of specific hydrocarbons. Jet fuel is therefore defined as a performance specification rather than a chemical compound.
Efficient Combustion
UCL Energy Group jet fuel is a premium aircraft turbine engine fuel that gives clean and efficient combustion as well as good high- and low-temperature performance.
JET A
Jet A-1 type aviation fuel, also called JP-1A is used globally in the turbine engines (Jet Engines, Turboprops) in civil aviation.
38°C
Flash point
The range of molecular mass between hydrocarbons is defined by the requirements for the product, such as the freezing point or smoke point.
Jet A specification fuel has been used in the United States since the 1950s and is usually not available outside the United States.
D1655
ASTM
Excellent Handling
The excellent handling properties are attributable to superior cleanliness, ready water separation characteristics, and outstanding storage stability.
TS-1
TS-1 is a Jet fuel made to Russian standard GOST 10227 for enhanced cold-weather performance.
-50°C
Freezing point
TS-1 specification has somewhat higher volatility than Jet A-1 (flash point is 28°C (82 °F) minimum). It has a very low freezing point, below −50 °C (−58 °F).
The TS-1 specification are in full compliance with the technical requirements and in accordance with GOST R 52050-2006 and GOST 10227-86 standards.

Quality and Integrity
Stringent quality control is maintained throughout the supply and distribution system to ensure the delivery of clean, dry, and on-spec fuel.
Jet B
Jet A-1 type aviation fuel, also called JP-1A is used globally in the turbine engines (Jet Engines, Turboprops) in civil aviation.
100%
Blend
A blend of approximately 30% kerosene and 70% gasoline makes Jet B a lighter composition and more dangerous to handle.
Jet B is a naphtha-kerosene fuel that is used for its enhanced cold-weather performance. It has a very low freezing point of −60 °C (−76 °F), and a low flash point as well.
It is primarily used in northern Canada and Alaska, where the extreme cold makes its low freezing point necessary, and which helps mitigate the danger of its lower flash point.
Safety Requirements
UCL Energy Group supplies superior-quality jet fuels that meet or exceed stringent requirements for worldwide fuel handling and product standards set by the industry. Our product integrity system assures that the proper checks and tests are performed at each step in the distribution system.
