 I guessed I missed something along the way. I have never seen diesel
instructions promoting the use of gasoline except in small quantities to
prevent gelling. I would think kerosene is a much better alternative before
gasoline as it won't damage the engine.

One of the cool things about diesels (at least the older models), are the
fueling instructions.

aka, if you can't get diesel fuel, you can use gasoline if you can't get
gasoline you can use kerosene if you can't get kerosene you can use alcohol
etc.

(of course the recommendations are to drive more conservatively on the
alternate fuels).

Most of us, of course, won't be driving in places were that is a concern.
