I wouldnt worry to much short to medium term the engine will be fine. Long term wont matter because if its a company car buy the time any damage is noticed  the vehicle will be either sold and replaced or so much time will have passed they will just think it was something else or just worn out.  It will be fine.

I put kero in my 4 cylinder escort van once...! I was a poor student, needed fuel so reckoned Dad wouldn't miss a can of his lawn mower fuel from garden shed.


 


Yes.

You may be alright if it's a few litres and it drove back from the servo ok, just keep topping it up regularly to dilute it.


Happened to the work truck once but was maybe 30/70 mix was running a bit rough, they drained it and refilled with diesel, no problems. They had 40litres of petrol/diesel mix, so I took it and poured it into my Petrol ute, ran no problems, though the white/grey smoke from the exhaust made it look like it was diesel.

Obviously. Probably blonde, too. Lawn mowers generally are 2-stroke, which means they need oil in the petrol. But still the base is petrol. I doubt kero would have even started your Escort, much less let it go anywhere.
