Maybe the ground crew were told “put mo’ gas in”. Instead of JP-8 they put in Mogas (mil spec gasoline).

Happened many times before

“Instead of JP-8 they put in Mogas (mil spec gasoline).”

I’m no expert but wouldn’t the wrong fuel cause a noticeable change in engine behavior while they still had time to abort the takeoff.

Or maybe a warning light?
