Don't bother draining just a waste of time.

Genea:
U had better drain d tank and clean it wit fuel,how much is d fuel dat u wanna take a gamble wit ur lyf 4

Siena:


Time is all this guy should have. Don't forget Lambda Sond's and Catalytic Converters don't like oil, which is what kerosene is. The car could end up with a CEL.

Rectification doesn't come cheap, and is more time consuming that draining the tank, which may well have to be done anyway, in addition to dealing with the aftermath.

Siena:
Get your gas tank drained. And next time you're making a query, it would help if you gave details of your car:

Make.
Model.
Engine size.
Model year.

Some vehicles / engines are less tolerant to contaminated fuel than others. Kerosene may well be zero octane, this is actually a negative. It is also non-volatile, meaning it will clog up your injectors, and the engine may not run. At best it may run rough, and smoke a lot too.

Unless you're lazy, or there's something you're not telling us, common sense would suggest you have the tank drained, rather than pull that messy cocktail through your fuel system.

Good luck.

What's a CEL??

Siena:


One of the best answers, the thread starter would do well to heed this advice.

0rex:
Do we know the quality of fuel we even get from some filling stations? Considering the petrol to kerosene mix ratio, I don't think there will be any catastrophic side effects.
Depending on how cautious & financially buoyant you are, you can risk it or just drain the fuel for your generator(s) & buy clean fuel for your car.

*You should be more careful in the future. You could just have easily poured petrol in your stove.

Exponental:
let me assume u buy furl @N100.
let me assume ur tank ia 70litres.
let me assume u av a full tank.
.
70litres × N100 = N7000 worth of fuel.
.
pls dont imagine d effect of saving N7000 @d expense of ur engine.

Just incase you intend throwing it away send me your address my fuel replant (rio)needs it, ill come get it. Thanks

AutosBay:
Yes, you can mix kerosine with diesel or gasoline. They are all hydrocarbons, therefore they are all miscible with each other.
But mixing kerosine with gasoline at more than 5% will lead to a poorer burning fuel that will not burn as easily or as quickly in a petrol engine. You will also, most likely, suffer thinning (viscosity loss) of your engine oil over time as the unburnt kerosine becomes entrained in the oil. You may suffer "pinging" ("knock" if your effective octane falls.
