Jet Engine Thrust Test Jet-A vs Diesel Fuel Experiment

I test-run 3 different fuels in my RC jet engine to see which one makes the most power. Jet A, Diesel, and HydroDiesel which contains 80% Diesel and 20% water.

I Built the jet dynamometer in this video then I put all 3 fuels to the test with some intense full-throttle runs as well as running the same test with the 3-jet go-kart and the results are very surprising.

This time I test run each I let the ECU fully adjust to the new fuel before doing the dyno pulls with the jet engines, I did 20 to 30-second Full throttle Dyno pulls, which is much longer than anybody would hold the throttle in the full power position under circumstances except for maybe a fighter jet.

I also sent the fuel samples to Project Farm for a lubricity test of Diesel vs HydroDiesel and the results were unexpected.
