I'd be awful tempted to dump it in and go, especially if the furnace
tank is pretty empty and will be topped off with fuel oil, but that's
my opinion.  I've never heard of diesel and gas not mixing but don't
know enough about it to say for sure.  Do you know somebody with an
old JD two cylinder set up for all-fuel? Bet it'd burn it with no
problem!
  Otherwise, burn your brush pile with it at night!
