so, is there any hard facts out there from any maintenance manuals telling us about this particular engine and being run on a different fuel?

I know the general consensus can vary by design and manufacturer, but we have heard about 150hrs allowable, to reduced overhaul times and some say you just get a white deposit on the blades.
Surely two tanks of fuel wouldnt have been more than a handful of hours, yet it sounds like the turbines were literally destroyed in this short time.

So what gives?
