Issued by Placid Refining Co. LLC, it covers potential hazards such as flammability, skin irritation, and toxicity to aquatic life. The substance is classified as a flammable liquid and is associated with serious health risks, including potential cancer and reproductive harm.

    The AFPET Laboratory Report, dated April 9, 2025, presents the results of a specification conformance test for Aviation Turbine Fuel (Jet A). The sample, submitted by Logan Swantek from Eglin AFB, was taken on April 4, 2025, and encompasses a quantity of 169,000 gallons. Testing indicated that the sample failed several quality benchmarks set by ASTM D 1655, notably due to the presence of undissolved water and excessive levels of aromatics and sulfur. Specific results included a total acid number and copper strip corrosion test failure. The report concludes that the product was treated with JF Biobor Aviation but remains non-compliant. This document serves as an official record on product quality for procurement and indicates the need for corrective measures as per the protocols established by DLA Energy.
