Does "Aeroplane" mean "Jet"?

The lead paragraph speaks repeatedly of "Aeroplane fuel" while talking about jet fuel. Is "Aeroplane" a British synonym for "Jet"? Or should the relevent sections be changed to the more explicit "Jet aeroplane"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Loren.wilton (talk • contribs) 09:34, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In the UK we use Aeroplane instead of Airplane, it does not specifically refer to any type of aircraft. Comrinec (talk) 21:17, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also, keep in mind that jet fuel is also burned by turboprop and turboshaft engines. Neither are "jets", and turboshaft engines are used in helicopters, not airplanes. This is why in technical discussion we use the more accurate term "gas turbine fuel" to describe jet fuel, even though this is not the common term. Shreditor (talk) 22:25, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also, there are diesel based light aircraft that burn 'jet fuel' also. — Preceding unsigned comment added by James shoemaker (talk • contribs) 23:37, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Contradictory lubricity statements

"However, jet fuel tends to have poor lubricating ability in comparison to diesel, which increases wear in fuel injection equipment.[citation needed] An additive may be required to restore its lubricity. Jet fuel is more expensive than diesel fuel but the logistical advantages of using one fuel can offset the extra expense of its use in certain circumstances.

Jet fuel contains more sulfur, up to 1,000 ppm, which therefore means it has better lubricity and does not currently require a lubricity additive as all pipeline diesel fuels require."
