Basically if it will burn and flow through a pipe it can be burned in a
turbine. Might not be optimal, and might need to be tweaked a bit, but
it should work.
I recall fueling a King Air once with avgas as for some reason we didn't
have any JetA. The pilot told me it was OK for some limited amount of
total time on the engines, I guess the fuel controllers adjusted for it
somehow but maybe it burned hotter or something, I don't know the
details although I should.

Anyone else heard this? I know that turbine engines can theoretically run on
pretty much any flammable liquid or gas, but it seems to me that large
industrial gas turbines would be designed and optimized for a particular fuel.
Would it be easy to just switch them to a different fuel type?
