Your Injection Pump AND Injectors will not be happy.
(AND have a Shortened Service Life.)

Injectors are probably $60. Each
An I.P. is probably $1,400.

What's with this almost O.C.D./Fixation of people trying to run the WRONG fuels?
Is there anything I can add to Kerosene to make it OK to run in a diesel engine? I do not want to harm the engine.
Diesel is in tight supply right now. Kerosene not so much.
