Wouldn't it get diced by the prop first? Theres a question for someone who wants to do a bit of maths.

There's also a reduction to the risk of fire to consider.
OTOH, diesel is denser than petrol. Not sure about avtur, but I'd imagine that is the same - they both come from the same fraction.

Yep that's correct, 500' from any person,vessel,vehicle or structure.
