once you dont have a common rail diesel engine you shouldnt have a problem... but... $40 is a lot of kerosene tho.... it actually cleans out your injectors and lubricates the fuel pump... i ussually do a 25 - 55 diesel kerosene mix every month or so..

fill the rest of your tank with diesel.. drive it like normal.. and as soon and it hits 3/4 fill it back up with diesel again to maintain the diesel to kero mixture.. and you good to go!

Click here for the article source

Read carefully and make an informed decision.

Kerosene has a lower BTU content than #2 diesel fuel which results in a decrease in engine power and fuel economy. Kerosene has an average BTU content of approximately 133,500 BTU per gallon and #2 diesel fuel has an average BTU content of approximately 139,500 BTU per gallon.

When using a 50:50 kerosene blend, the BTU content is approximately 136,500 or two percent less than #2 diesel. The resulting power loss is approximately two percent. Fuel economy will also decrease by at least two percent.

Kerosene provides only minimal increased winter fuel operability. Kerosene will decrease the Cold Filter Plug Point (CFPP) by 2ºF for every 10% kerosene used. Diesel fuel additives, on the other hand, will reduce the CFPP by as much as 35°F- 45°F.

Kerosene contains less lubricity than #2 diesel fuel. Diesel fuel lubricity is a major concern because of Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD). ULSD contains significantly less lubricity than Low Sulfur Diesel (LSD). As a result, metal components in the engine fuel system, including fuel pumps and injectors, are susceptible to premature failure. Many diesel fuel additives will actually increase overall fuel system lubricity.

Kerosene contains less cetane than #2 diesel fuel. Cetane is the most universally accepted measure of diesel fuel ignition quality. Proper ignition during the combustion cycle is essential for optimum operation, economics, and durability. Insufficient levels of cetane lead to hard starting, longer warm-ups and heavy white smoke.

Summary of Disadvantages of Kerosene Blending

1) Increased Cost
2) Decreased Engine Power
3) Decreased Fuel Economy
4) Inadequate Winter Fuel Operability
5) Decreased Lubricity
6) Decreased Cetane

Kerosene should just burn off with the diesel. HOwever, with the volume you put in your tank you may experience some loss of power. Not too sure what effects it'll have on your engine. Just keep filling the tank up with diesel every chance you get to dilute the kerosene as quickly as possible.

If you notice any performance issues, then drop and drain the tank and replace with fresh diesel.
