apparently the td5 was originaly developed for the MOD so it would run on kerosene (ie aviation fuel) then as it was to reliant on electronics the MOD decided to not have the engine and stick with the 300tdi

I would say no, on modern diesels the high pressure pumps are reknown for being fussy on fuels, best to stick with diesel and save yourself the £600+ it will cost to repair...
