Don't worry about it. Your rover has a wide appetite for things
hydrocarbon.... Faced with being marooned on an Iowa farmstead on a
Sunday morning 100 miles from town, a friend poured four gallons of
kerosesne and a gallon of Coleman fuel into his near-empty tank. Ran
more-or-less okay 'til he could fill up.
