The burden of proof is on the advocates of mixing gasoline and diesel in any proportion to show that:
1. Its safe for any gasoline engine
2. It doesn't negatively impact emissions or damage the emissions control devices
3. It works to improve fuel economy.
So far you've done none of those.

I'm not advocating it at all, only adding my personal experience, having done it myself.
At least this time, you added a meaningful post.
And, by the way, evidence is (and has been) around that shows that gasoline carbureted engines can safely be run on kerosene variants with tuning. Those engines which I've seen and done work with aren't emissions controlled, though.
I did, however, make note that for each combination of engine/operator/fuel mixture, there is no right answer, it's for the operator to figure out on his own. That would be the nature of experimentation, in case you hadn't noticed.
