Another consideration if you are getting into turbines , get yourself a Mr Funnel filter to filter
Your fuel as often as you can to get any moisture out. I had a 10 litre jug of kerosene that had a very small ball of water rolling around in the bottom. Got mine at Walmart . Works great on all petroleum based fuels for removing moisture and dirt. Can never be too clean.
I wouldn't loose any sleep over using Jet A vs. Jet A1 vs kerosene. Diesel on the other hand has a higher percentage of sulphur and may not be the best for some micro turbines. Does smoke a lot more on shutdown.
