OK, here's a question out of left field.  A Lancair recently went down in AZ right after being refueled.  On the Lancair list, the speculation is that it was fueled with Jet-A.  I was curious, if this happened to a rotary, would it run (continue to produce power) on jet-a or would the engine quit?  I speculate that due to the fuel pumps continuously circulating the fuel to the fuel rails and back to the tank, it probably wouldn't even start, but if it did, would it continue to run on the mix of jet-a and mogas?   I guess it depends on the ratio of mogas to jet-a.  Assuming that the fuel was almost 100% jet-A, would it still run? 

Ed, you've pretty much had everything happen to you that can possibly happen in an airplane, what-you-say?
