Jet fuel is even more dangerous for an AvGas-fueled aircraft than MoGas. There was at least one incident I'm aware of that fueling a Cirrus with jet fuel caused it to lose power while taking off and falling, yet in most cases involving aircraft fueled with either low-ethanol or ethanol-free MoGas smuggled into Brazil from neighboring countries were also related to overloading the aircraft.
