Jet engines burn aviation grade Kerosene called JPx where the "x" is a number specifying the grade (e.g. JP1, JP4).
Aviation fuel is a special petroleum- based fuel used to fuel jet air crafts.
Airplanes primarily use jet fuel as an energy source to power their engines and propel them through the air. Jet fuel is a type of fossil fuel that is specifically designed for use in aircraft engines.
Jet fuel is injected into high pressure air in jet engines.
The ratio is about 15:1 fuel to air.
Air is sucked into the engine using giant fans called axial compressors (compressors for short), which compress the air into a very dense structure. The air is then mixed with jet fuel which creates a very potent flammable mixture which is then lit. After the fuel and air is lit, there is a constant controlled explosion where the air and fuel turns into gas and expands extremely fast and is forced out the back of the jet. Without the fuel, the air would not ignite. Jet fuel is different from gasoline used in passenger cars and has more in common with diesel fuel in which both diesel and jet fuel are designed to have high flash points and allows for high compression.

Jet fuel is high grade diesel so a jet fuel car would use high grade diesel fuel.
The Air Force has experimented with biodiesel in some of its airplanes - jet fuel is very similar to diesel.
Avgas, or if it has a jet engine, it would use either Jet-A1 or Jet-B fuel.
Yes, it is safe to use a fan for this. Jet fuel is not easy to ignite.
The type of fuel is specific to the type of engine, not the aircraft. Helicopters that have jet engines use jet fuel, and helicopters that have internal combustion engines use gasoline. However the General Electric T-58 had a device in the fuel control that allowed you to burn just about anything from avgas to jet fuel to kerosene.
