Deisel fuel can be used on gas turbine engines just not in aircraft. The marine world use diesel fuel all of the time for gas turbine engines which are a derivative of the aero engine. When I say diesel I mean gas oil, similar to that which you would put in a "diesel" powered vehicle. Diesel is really dirty gas oil and from lower on the tower. (32sec to 38/40 sec Redwood.) Jet A1 being about 28 sec Redwood - I think.
