Jet A and JP5 are both kerosene. JP5 has a lower freeze point as military jets fly higher than commercial jets. The freeze spec we made Jet A to was -40F. Flash max was 100F. Can't comment on JP7 as we didn't make it. There is no such thing as off spec jet fuel in a refinery. Off spec gasoline maybe but oil companies don't want their fuel to be blamed for plane crashes.
