The B52 pictures are of B-52s in a edge-of-envelope test. You always do such tests with the engines running very rich so if somethiong goes wrong you can get a quick engine restart. Actually the synthetic jet fuel runs very cleanly compared to dino-JP-5. The picture is a politically motivated cheap shot.
It helps with lubrication too.
