I have used jet A-1, white spirit, and household kerosene as the fuel base. Household kerosene has given the most issues. A flying friend has used mil. spec. AVTUR (the slops from water testing) without problem. I suspect (but cannot say) it is the same as Jet A-1. Not my field of expertise. My father was knowledgeable about all this, being familiar with refinery operation. I have forgotten most of what he used to say. He used phrases like "wide cut", "cracked", "long-chain" and the like.

From Wiki (for what it is worth)

"Although not normally marketed as a fuel, white spirit can be used as an alternative to kerosene in portable stoves, since it is merely a light grade of kerosene.[SUP][citation needed][/SUP] It cannot be used as an alternative to white gas, which is a much more volatile gasoline-like fuel".
