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. The report was electronically distributed to relevant personnel for further review and action.
