Using kerosene in a Detroit engine is not recommended, as it can cause damage and affect performance. Detroit engines are typically designed to run on diesel fuel, which provides the necessary lubrication and combustion characteristics. If you're considering alternative fuels, it's essential to consult the engine's manufacturer or a qualified mechanic to ensure compatibility and avoid potential issues.

It depends on where you put the kerosene, but generally, if you just put it in the fuel tank, just drain it, put in new fuel, use some starting fluid to get it running and after fighting the pull cord forever and having it die multiple times and after putting up with the smoke while you clear out the kerosene... it will run pretty much the way it did before. The hardest part will be getting the left-over kerosene out of the engine. Understand that there is some inside the cylinder and it will take a little time to burn it out. Just get as much out as you can then start it. Kerosene is an oil and it will not harm the engine unless you try to use it in the crankcase.
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.
