I have loaned my 90 to a family member who's own vehicle is off the road. Got it back for a night to do some stuff and went to put some fuel in and could smell Kero from the tank. I know he has some lying around as I got him some from a mate who was getting rid of a tank full. I gave it to him for his heating, not to put in my landy. I know it is less lubricating and burns at a higher temp than derv, so dropped 20ltrs of VO in the tank. I normally run it on 50/50 derv/VO. Not too chuffed with him at the mo....
I'd not have bulked it up with VO but put a litre of motor oil into it - that way it increases the lubricity but not the quantity of fuel you want to get rid of.
It will be fine, get it as low as you can and then brim it with derv. My concern is VOSA - the engine will be fine.
If it was my worry I would set off tonight for a drive and just run it till the red light comes on, if the fuel in the tank was free anyway it's not that big a problem to use it all and it keeps you safe.
