Jet A-1 (or DPK Dual Purpose Kerosene) is the military grade of Avtur and has a flash point (around 37-38 deg C) much lower than automotive diesel fuel (around 62 deg C), you WILL damage the engine via pre-ignition, there's also the lack of internal lubrication you will miss out on causing further wear.
Seals will likely also take a beating throughout the fuel system as Jet-A1 contains FSII which is an icing inhibitor due to the lack of heating elements within military aircraft.
in short you are mad if you use this in a motor vehicle- unless its fitted with a turbine engine......
