Black Hawks use jet fuel.

You can use:

JP-8 (the current standard issue fuel)

Jet-A

Jet-A1

JP-4

Jet-B

JP-5

There are three other jet fuels--JP-6, JP-7 and JPTS--you can't run in it, but they're very rare: JP-6 and JP-7 go in planes the Air Force doesn't have anymore, and JPTS only goes in the U-2.

You can also run diesel in it, but diesel could be contaminated so they really don't recommend it.

JP-8 was designed to be a universal fuel. It works in both turbine engines and in diesels. The government has transitioned to diesel engines everywhere they possibly could, and this fuel works in all of them.

If you have absolutely no other option you can put gasoline in it but that cooks the engine in just a couple hours so they do not do it except under an emergency that hasn't happened yet.
