Got Jet Fuel? Turbine Helicopters > Parrafin/Kerosene

I don't know how kerosene comes in other countries but here in the UK is often comes as pink parrafin or dyed blue. My question is, does the dye used to colour parrafin/kerosene cause any harm to turbine engines or does it just burn away. Anybody use pink parrafin in their engines?

I have been using "Parasene" with no problems - available from your local B&Q store. Comes in 4 litre bottles. very clean fuel as it is aimed at the domestic fuel market and very low odour.
