Is aluminum borohydride added to jet fuel?

I was doing some research on the contents of jet fuel and came across some sources that said aluminum borohydride is added to jet fuel. But was wondering if this was true.

    Apparently so. It is added to jet fuel as a synthesizer. When it comes into contact with water, it forms hydrogen gas. It gets rid of the water and probably juices up the fuel a little with the hydrogen, much like introducing propane into the fuel/air mixture in diesel trucks.
