fuel types in engine types....

So based on a little background reading I have found that although not preferable it is possible (eg in an emergency situation?) to run a turbine engine on a `wide cut` fuel like avgas 100LL SG .72 ....but the result... incorrect fuel metering, reduced performance, decreased range, over temp and over speed.

What if we reverse the senerio. Is it hypothetically possible to run a piston engine aviation machine on turbine fuel SG.80 ?? Are the `anti knock`qualities inadequate, how would it perform, what damage would result.

?????
