I have heard it can, but not as well, as kerosene is not as combustable. What I really need to know is if it will potentially hurt the engine... I accidently put 5 gal. kerosene in my gf's Neon (it was in a red gas can), but now I'm afraid to run it. I drove it less than a mile, brought it home and parked it. Then, upon starting it acted as if it wasn't getting enough fuel. If someone can help me out here, I'd greatly appreciate it. You can email me, if possible at askeplinger (at) Yahoo (dot) com. Thanks!
I would pump all the fuel out of the tank and fill it with gasoline. The kerosene could damage the O2 sensors and the catalytic converter.

Can you use petrol instead of kerosene in a kerosene run generator?
No, the petrol has a higher ignition flash point than that of kerosene. It would be like using petrol in a diesel engine. The engine would run extremely hot and the engine could be destroyed. As diesel uses compression to burn the fuel petrol needs a spark. The petrol under higher compression will pre ignite and cause detonation in the piston cylinders. This could destroy the pistons, cylinder walls or the cylinder head of the engine.
