I wouldn’t.
He also told me a story which came from his boss, who used to service the boilers in the US accommodation at Lakenheath. A lot of the US airmen thought that it would be a good idea to run their boilers on ‘free’ Jet A1.
Every so often, another boiler would go ‘boom’. On a regular basis.
So, no. Heating oil is NOT the same as Jet A1. (Insert ‘facepalm’ emoji).
