Nigeria: Kerosene as Aviation Fuel, Threatens Air Safety

Aeronautical engineers and pilots have warned that it is very dangerous to use Dual Purpose Kerosene (DPK), popularly known as Kerosene, to fuel aircraft, as a substitute for Jet A1, which is the standard aviation fuel. Although the two are closely related, Jet A1 is well refined petroleum product for aviation use. The experts cautioned that an aircraft engine could be adversely affected when a low grade fuel is used. Source
