Seems harmeless to me but I'd love to get input.

that is just Kerosene, is it not?

Won't hurt anything, it would even run fine on a 50/50 mix.

Just the other day I dumped 3 gallons of used transmission oil in our forklift at work (15 gallon tank) and it runs fine although the exhaust stinks maybe It was too much, but hey it's runs good, will change filters once this fuel tank runs empty, I did drain out the oil thru trans cooler line so there shouldn't be any contaminates.
