You should test them first.

Looking at some of your earlier posts and see that you had a gelling issue. I would mix in about a gallon of kerosene with your fuel. See if this helps.

Mixing kero and diesel will work. I prefer to use some Power Service or similar product to prevent gelling. I tried a 50/50 (kero - diesel) mix a couple winters ago but noticed a slight loss in power. I don't see the power loss using the additive which has a Cetane booster and gel preventer.
