If burning jet fuel was capable of melting metal why in the hell doesnt it burn the inner components of a jet engine?

Oh Christ. I suck at math, but clearly you have no idea of what the numbers really represent.
Twenty four thousand gallons is in fact "tens of thousands" of gallons.
This all makes perfect sense to me now. There are people on GFY saying they are having horrible ratios. Chances are this is because they can't do third grade math.
