Default Gasoline in Home Heating Oil - Bad?

OK...this may sound weird, but I had a dream last night...

A friend pulled up at my house with his pickup truck towing a tank of
home heating oil. He said he needed some gas for his pickup. I went
into the backyard and grabbed the gas can I use for my lawn mower and
brought it up front. Instead of pouring the gas into his truck, I
poured about a gallon into the oil tank.

It wasn't my fault, the cap on the oil tank was open.

2 questions:

1 - How bad would it be to have a gallon of gas mixed with, I don't
know, let's say 100 gallons of home heating oil?


I don't know how bad that would be but It would still make me
uncomfortable.

Many years ago my father-in-law bought one of those Olds 98 diesel
cars they were making in the late 1970's. After he drove the hell out
of it and replaced the engine a couple of times, we bought it from him
and drove it a couple of years. During the winter when it was real
cold, we had a lot of trouble getting it to start and stay running
because the cold diesel fuel would be so thick. I remember we would
put something in the fuel to thin it out but I don't remember what. I
think it was kerosene tho not gasoline.


2 - What does this dream mean?


You have gas.
