[QUOTE=78F350;561197]I was thinking of flushing them out long before actually running the engine. The Jet Fuel would all be evaporated out (and blown through with compressed air when I flushed) Do you think that would still be a problem?

I would not recommend using ANY hydrocarbon in the cats. To the cats the only real difference between gasoline and jet fuel is the length of the molecular chain. JP5, JP8 doesn't matter, they are similar to diesel which does not completely evaporate and will leave residual hydrocarbons in the cats (feels oily) which is mostly paraffin. Simple Green maybe?
