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.

What happens if you put diesel in a petrol generator?

If you put diesel in a petrol generator, the engine may fail to start or run poorly, as diesel fuel has different combustion properties than petrol. Diesel can cause damage to the spark plugs and fuel system components, leading to costly repairs. Additionally, the generator may emit excessive smoke and could potentially seize up if run on the wrong fuel. It's important to drain the system and clean it thoroughly before attempting to use the generator again.

Can you use kerosene instead of diesel?

A diesel engine will run fine on kerosene. If you are going to run it on kerosene for an extended amount of time you might want to put some lubricant additive in with it.
