I am settling into my routine with my JetCat turbine and I had an interesting question come up. I originally started running the engine on 1-K that I got at Lowes. Ran great. After several 5 gallon cans of that and the cost that goes with it, a few of us at our club were able to get a deal on Jet A from a local airport. So we all switched and I have been running Jet A all summer long. When I switched fuels, I flew out as much of the 1-K as I was willing to and then drained and set aside the remainder after I drained the UAT as well. I then refilled everything immediately with Jet A so the two never mixed.

The question I have is that I still have one can of 1-K left over that I haven't used yet and I was curious if it was safe to mix the 1-K and Jet A together or should I repeat the complete drain process I did last time? Thanks for the advice.

Mixing the two fuels will be fine. Kero and Jet A are very similar, just Jet A has added a few chemicals to keep algy and bacteria from forming. I run both and mix and never had an issue.....

You can mix without any problems. Don't need to drain anything.

Depends where you live and on the tax regime - Where I am Jet A is half the price of diesel.

Correct, but he is only 40 miles away from me so it does works locally.

Can you use the same oil as with Kero?

I have used all 3 with no difference at all on all my engines
Running Diesel at the moment because I can get it from the local gas station
Only thing I notice is a little smoking after shut down with the diesel thats it

Good luck
