RE: Failed start
Most turbines start on either propane or powermax (butane / propane mix) and then transition to Jet-A or Kerosene. BMT is the only manufacturer at this time that sells a full kerosene autostart turbine, although I believe the Sophias and Turbomins started without propane (both of these are out of production).
