Post Jet Fuel History -- Concorde, too!

At some point in my reading, I read that one factor (American) airlines had against opting for the Concorde was the specialized fuel it consumed. At any time in the developmental or production history of the Concorde, did it require special fuel to operate?

If so, did later engine modifications ameliorate the need for that special fuel, or was it that as other jet engines developed, they too required the same fuel?

What type of fuel does the Concorde now utilize?
