You should be able to fill it up with a full tank of 93 octane. Do not do this if it's fuel injected. My brother did the same thing with a old wagoner.

Kero is not as hot a diesel... with that kind of mix wont be enough in to matter...I haul gas and diesel..we worry more about getting to much gas in diesel than the other way around...if U can syphon some out it might make U feel better..
