Most turbine engine's i work with have approved data to allow the use of other fuels albeit sometimes with restrictions; for instance, if using gasolene. Diesel could normally be used with few adjustments on a hydromechanical fcu and possibly none on a modern fadec application.

I wonder how much impact the difference in density would have, particulally on a 'heavy' with regards to weight?
