No, 'normal' jet fuel is AVTUR (JP4 or Jet A-1). AVGAS is petrol and not for jet engines (except in the Shackleton Mk3 and those Vipers only lasted about 25 hours). AVCAT (JP5) is a less flammable form of parafin (more or less) carried on ships in place of AVTUR. Works almost as well, but slightly more smoke and slightly less thrust. You can still run a Zippo on it, though. There is also AVTAG, which is like AVTUR, but stores better.
