From what I understand the simple difference between diesel and Jet A is lubricant. We used to dump a few quarts of oil into a 500 gallon tank of sumped jet a and run our GSE off it.
Onetrack is correct but just that, you asked can you and I would say hell yeah, now over time these additives may clog up small fuel controll ports, performance may not be the same but I do believe any engine, jet engine would run on diesel. I just can not say for how long.....
