Fuel type for Saab 340b

I am trying to find out what type of fuel a Saab 340b turbo-prop uses.
Normally I use Google university but the information there does not seem forthcoming.
Thanks in advance for your help.

JET-A or any compatible equivalent.

What's so special about the 340 that separates it from any other turboprop, especially as regards to fuel type? Why would you expect it to use anything other than Jet A?

Could use Jet A-1 or Jet B which is rare now. Used it once.

Some like the PT-6 can use Avgas for limited time periods. Maybe the GE CT-7 engine is similar.

No AVGAS in CT7, sorry

JET-A, JET-A1, JET B, JP-5, JP-8, JP-4 and CIS RT + all according to GE spec D50T2F (no idea which those are).
