But the fuel known as “Diesel” is pretty close to jet fuel, both of them being almost kerosene, so it should burn just fine in a jet engine.
Straight kerosene would work, but it is less lubricating that diesel fuel, so you need to mix some engine oil in with it to avoid damaging the engine. And on a modern car you are probably going to destroy any emissions control system, as kerosene has much higher sulfur than diesel.
I know that Mercedes diesel sedans here in Asia has "NO ADDITIVES" written multiple times all around its inner fuel lid.
I don't know for sure if Germany is considered to have cold climate, but if it is, I wonder if their diesel has kerosene and how that plays out with these engines.
As I understand, Mercedes diesels are ubiquitous in some European countries (atleast as a taxi)?
It seems to include a "HVO bio component" (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil).
On the other hand up to the '80's it was a common practice to add in cold climates some 5%-10% gasoline or kerosene to diesel fuel directly in the tank of trucks and building site machines.

I though jet engines used heat to ignite the fuel? Diesel engines use compression alone to ignite it.
