Claim:
1. A method for making high density turbine fuels, comprising: heating a renewable plant oil, triglyceride, or fatty acid with at least one first acid catalyst to generate a first mixture of alkyl adamantanes with between 11 and 17 carbon atoms; cracking the first mixture of alkyl adamantanes by continued heating and/or addition of a second catalyst to said first mixture of alkyl adamantanes to produce a second alkyl adamantane mixture with a decreased average molecular weight; fractionally distilling said second alkyl adamantane mixture to produce a third alkyl adamantane mixture enriched in C blending said third alkyl adamantane mixture with other petroleum-based or renewable fuels to obtain high density jet/turbine fuels having densities greater than 0.89 g/mL.
