So who was using the 10,000 tons a month, just under 30% of the fuel being consumed by the UK Crumpp?
It is 10,000 tons at the airfields and not in the strategic reserves. It is not 10,000 tons in airplanes.

It represents 3.74% of the aviation fuel from the stock yards, to the railheads, to the airfields for the first year of the war.

That is why placarding is not a choice or option. Any alternative fuels will be specifically listed by specification.

That is by convention and still followed today.

Primary, alternate, and emergency fuel for all
turbojet and turboprop engines installed in Air
Force aircraft will be listed in the aircraft -1 flight
manual.

In order of decreasing precedence, fuel
use for Air Force aviation applications (excepting
the U-2) is as follows.
1. JP-8/JP-5
2. Jet A/Jet A-1 (with SDA, FSII, and CI)
3. TS-1 (with SDA, FSII, and CT)
4. Jet A/Jet A-1 (neat)
5. TS-1 (neat)
TS-1 must meet the Russian GOST 10227-
86 specification if used on US military aircraft.
