Fuel poured into the air intake stream will get compressed through at least one centrifugal stage and several axial stages before entering the combustion section.
During the compression stages the air and fuel mixture will heat up. Don't know the ignition point of JP-1 or the temperatures going through the compression stages, but if it doesn't blow the compressor stage right off the engine it would blow the exhaust section out the back.
I would love to see the video of this encounter. That MIG pilot will never have to buy a beer for the rest of his life.
Just to elaborate...

Good analysis. Thanks! At the very least, the engine would exceed the turbine inlet temperature, with subsequent bad results.
