A small amount 1/2 to 1qt will clean the heck out of an Engine while idling but, not the fuel system.

A newbie at the docks filled a new VW with diesel when it came off the boat.The car didnt like it much. We fixed it by leaving it running,syphoning the tank,adding gasoline.

It doesn't work you can set a varnished carb in kerosene for a month and the varnish will still be there. But squirt some gumout or any good carb cleaner in the bowl vents while its running at a fast Idle to prevent stalling and it will clean every fuel passage of the carb unless the passage is plugged with zinc or aluminum oxide from setting and corroding.
