No, it shouldn't be a problem at all. In fact, as I remember when I was in the U.S Navy we've been using JP-8 (jet fuel similar to Jet-A) for ALL of it's diesel powered vehicles. A diesel engine will run on lots of different fuel oils. However, I can't imagine why a gasman would intentionally mix in Jet-A with diesel, as Jet-A is more expensive than common diesel, unless he's getting it free (AKA fuel that was de-fueled from an aircraft for maintenance purposes)

And for you, you'll need some processing is required. This could be as simple as prefiltering prior to use.
In order to not harm your engines, you will need to raise the flashpoint of the JP4 or JP5.(FP = 0F). Petro diesel has a flashpoint of ~180F.

Mixing it with waste oil is a good idea, but proportioning will be an issue.

You will need to have both the JP4 or JP5 and the Oil you intend to use tested in a local lab. You need to know the following

1. pour point
2. viscosity (THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT, KAYA ATTENTION SA DETAIL)
3. flashpoint.

then Prepare a decade series of mixtures with increasing amounts of oil

1% oil, 10% oil, 20% and so on.

plot the flash points for this series and determine the exact mixture that gives you 182 degrees F.

If your JP4 is in barrels the mixing is easier. Just dont use a tank farm there will be more processing.You could but you will have to deal with algae, water and a lot of sediment. Its good to know that you brought up this one here in tsikot, and who knows you'll be the next diesel tycoon.

Good luck.
