Diesel fuel is the only diesel fuel. Either Low Sulphur or Ultra Low Sulphur, depending on the emissions regulations of the country you're in. If your vehicle has an aftertreatment system, which can consist of just a DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter), or a DPF and SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system which uses DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid), you can only run Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel in it, or you'll clog that DPF up within the hour, your engine will derate, and you won't be going anywhere.
Using a Diesel fuel conditioner would be good for your engine and would not be bad at all.
Diesel
not a good idea.
Diesel engines run on diesel fuel. Gasoline will destroy a diesel engine.
Short of re-refining it there is no good way to break the long molecules of motor oil into the size that makes diesel fuel. You can add small amounts of motor oil to diesel fuel and it will burn but it is not recommended.
Only if someone installed a diesel engine. Most Explorers are gasoline engines.
Yes, diesel is a bio fuel
not at all. that will cause engine damage. gasoline burns at a much lower temperature than diesel fuel so you will get pre ignition. diesel fuel has more useable power in than gasoline. gasoline is rated in octane and diesel fuel is rated in cetane. with diesel fuel the higher the cetane the faster the fuel will burn for a more complete combustion. so if you want more power from a diesel a place to start is a higher cetane diesel fuel. but things like bigger trubos, vgt turbos, injectors, intercoolers have a much bigger effect on power than fuel
If the non diesel fuel is drained out without getting to the engine there is a good chance there wil be no damage. For more information see the answer to the Related Question shown below.
If you mean diesel fuel, you can purchase that from any fuel station. If you mean the clothing brand, you can find the products at good clothes retailers. You can also buy them from Amazon or ebay.

If the van has a diesel engine, then you MUST use diesel fuel. Unleaded gasoline will destroy a diesel engine. Diesel fuel is also used as a lubricant in a diesel engine. The use of any other fuel except diesel will result in serious damage. If you have put unleaded in your diesel, do not start or drive this vehicle until you drain the tank and change all the fuel filters.If the van has a diesel engine, then you MUST use diesel fuel.
