jet Fuel??

why would u want to? dont u know higher octane makes u lose power unless u motor is made for it. if ur motor is rated for 87 run 87 that his the highest power ull get out of ur sled. the octane level is its resitance to burn down from dentination has nothing to do with power.
 
Jet fuel is just like diesel fuel. If you could get it to start, it probably wouldn't run very well. You'd be better off running it in your Dodge. Jet fuel is comprised of heavier hydrocarbons than gasoline. As you may know it'll take a lot of compression to burn thoroughly. As stated before, if it did run, it would probably gum everything up with carbon. Maybe others will chime in and expand more thoroughly.

I'll expand more thouroughly... DON'T RUN IT!!!!

Now if you meant running Av Gas (100LL) still don't run it unless you are making more compression than stock. The reason has already been stated. Higher octane makes less power on a motor designed to run regular/premium pump fuel. The reason you run higher octane is to stop detonation/pre-ignition. On a stock motor, you will make the most power running the lowest octane the motor is designed for.

Jet fuel is a form of kerosene [like what is used in camping lanterns] and yes, is very similar to diesel fuel. In other words, no, your snowmobile will not run on it.
Perhaps you are meaning airplane fuel?
