From page 4...
... Assuming the alternative jet fuel received by an airport is a drop-in fuel, then currently used seals (including O-rings) required in fuel distribution systems will function satisfactorily.

... Their fuel use and emissions are very small relative to the aircraft main engines. Additionally, jet fuel is not a drop-in fuel for gasoline engines; therefore, only turbine-powered aircraft main engines and diesel-powered GSE are considered.
