747s run on diesel? I learn something new every day.

Yes, jet fuel is basically #1 diesel. Or kerosene.

Diesel on a 747 is only for the “reefer”.

747s run on diesel? I learn something new every day. They're similar. Wikipedia says:
JP-8, (for "Jet Propellant 8") a kerosene-based fuel, is used by the United States military as a replacement in diesel fueled vehicles and for powering aircraft. JP-8 is also used by the U.S. military and its NATO allies as a fuel for heaters, stoves, tanks and as a replacement for diesel fuel in the engines of nearly all tactical ground vehicles and electrical generators.
