Only for a desperate reason, auto diesel has a lot more wax still in it than Avtur does. Can clog things up
Desperate reasons? Perhaps, but it is an approved fuel in some applications AC, cropdusters for example, comes with a temperature limit to avoid the gumming problem. Have heard of it used in the early days in Oz in French helos, don't know the legality in those days, from memory I think the story was it was approved by the manufacturer.
