It was a long time ago, in a land far away...
but the inspection and flushing for Jet A was because aviation fuel customers preferred not to receive any water in their fuel. Turbines will burn pretty much anything else that might have been in the trailer in trace amounts from previous loads.
Why wouldn't aviation turbine fuel be low sulphur now too?
It is diesel injection systems that needed the sulphur for lubricity...
For best cold weather performance of your space heater you could get your hands on some Jet B aka JP-4.
