Pilots,
the PT6 turboprop engine can be run on gasoline - but you are supposed to do a hot section inspection every 100hrs. with a borescope and mix 1 quart of Exxon 2380 with each 50 gallons of gas because gas alone does not lube the fuel pump and fuel control unit like Jet A does . We used to run this mixture in our Twin Otter aircraft when we could not get Jet A .
