Take the gas line off at the injector distributor. Put a hose over the gas line and run it to a gas can. Turn ignition to "on" and pump the tank empty. Re-connect the line and fill the tank up with gas this time. What's left in the tank will mix and not matter.

Your gonna love this answer, EZ fix ! On the fuel rail you'll see a bleed off valve ( looks kinda like the valve stem on yer wheels).Disconnect Ignition, turn key ON & let the fuel pump empty the tank.Put in atleast 6 gal of premium gas, bleed off a 1/2 gal . reconnect Ign. & you should be out crusing for a new BF real soon. Good Luck !

It will un-seal a broken-in engine (but you will have the cleanest engine in town (smile)) Best bet, drain it NOW. Add regular gas and a touch of octane boost (kerosene has extremely low octane.) Lemme guess... when it did start... it was knocking and dieseling (running past when you turn it off.)

It's not going to run period. You'll have to have the fuel tank drained and cleaned (if not replaced). You'll probably also have to replace the fuel pump, fuel filter, and fuel line. If the car ran with kerosene, the engine's probably going to be junk.
For future reference, keep kerosene in a blue colored can; and gasoline in a red colored can.

If you only put 5 or so gal in just fill it with gas. youll probably have to crank a little to get it started and keep an EYE on your temp but it should be fine.
