Default Turbine Fuel ?

Hi Pilots,
why can't you run your model turbines on diesel fuel ?-is it not almost the same as kerosene-I know for a fact that we used to run our full size PT6 turboshaft engines on it when the price of Jet A went sky high-and we had no problems with it. Anyone know any real reason why we should/can- not run diesel fuel ? This is a serious question.
