Nellycopter,

Please dont take this in the wrong vane, but I am staggered at your total lack of ability to know the answers to fuel types needed to run your turbine, the question you indicate, is that your pal said you could use heating oil, why do you think its called heating oil, it is full of things that would cause you great problems if airborne with it, you would not use that in a Ferguson Tractor, and you are supposed to be talking about fueling a Turbine heli,

Like the previous posters have said, you need that very complex turbine to create a lot of power to keep your un-informed backside in the air, shortcut fuel quality and we will be reading about you in the Redtops.

Correct fuel.
Enough to do the trip,
enough to divert
ensure daily test before flying,
always purchase away fuel from a reliable source
Keep records and samples
Dont use single skin tanks
dont use Mild steel pipe's
check Static tank Filter very often
Unless using floating suction pick up dont refuel after delivery's for at least 8 hours.

simple pain in the ares rules that will keep you breathing, you cannot be too cautious with any fuel(s).

Fly Safe, land safer.
