There are three different types of gases used there is type A which is used for commercial airliners, type B which is used for smaller, and type C which is used for propeller driven planes specifically water planes.
While the above may be true, jet fuel is essentially kerosene.

Why did they change the name of the gas turbine to the jet engine?
They use both terms. A turbine engine that's being used in an aircraft is a "jet engine," and a turbine engine that's being used in a ground-based application is a "gas turbine." Sometimes it's the same engine--the Lycoming engine used in the CH-47 as a "jet engine" is also used in the M-1 tank as a "gas turbine."
