Contaminated Fuel with kerosene. Please Save my truck !?

Question

What do I use to test fuel that`s been contaminated with kerosene & how do I separate it ?.

Answer 1

If the vehicle is a diesel, then you might not notice the difference.

For a truck with a gasoline using engine, do not bother testing if you suspect kerosene contamination. You need drain the fuel tank and lines. For an engine using a carburetor, the small float tank should also be taken apart and cleaned.

Refuel with the grade of gasoline to which you have added alcohol (any product like "Heat" or a gas line de-icer). Use a petroleum based Starting Fluid to get the engine to crank and finally turn over. A Diethyl ether type Starting Fluid could be used in a pinch, but it is not as good for this task.

Answer 2

tanto el fuel como el keroseno, contaminan, ya sean juntos, como por separado, lo que pasa es que la tasa de contaminacion de ambos materiales es diferente y actua durante un lapsus de tiempo mas largo o corto, un saludo de juand
