I got 150 gallons of diesel for free because it has been mixed with only 1-2 gallons of DEF, was wandering if it would hurt anything to burn it I have a water seperater fuel filter so I think I should be alright. Just want other people two cents to be safe.

I think its fine to use also, let's see what the rest of the cucv guys have to say. You can also put a small amount of oil in there also. Very small....

The jugs we got at our warehouse to put in the newer trucks say fuel not fluid cause the trucks won't run without it.

DEF has water in it:
"Diesel Exhaust Fluid, also called DEF, is a solution made up of purified water and 32.5 percent automotive-grade urea that is used as a carrying agent for the ammonia needed to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from vehicles into nitrogen, water and carbon dioxide (CO2)."
Quoted from: Diesel Exhaust Fluid | Facts About SCR
You do not want water in your fuel. Maybe if you got someone to run it through a centrifuge first, but then I don't know if that would get rid of the other chemicals (UREA) which are supposed to be fairly corrosive.

DEF=PEE
I would get a transfer pump and put a water seperator on that, rather than hope just the stock filter catches it. It might do it, but could leave you on the side of the road, at night, on a back road, needing to be somewhere quickly.

It settles out of diesel. It may form a scum with biodiesel so you would be best served to mix 1/2% two stroke oil into the diesel once decanted off the DEF.
The rest will be caught by the filters so drain them often into a clear jar to see if there is contamination.
