There is also a red neck (as Eric calls it) test for fuel dilution. Take a drop of lube oil and put it on a clean piece of paper towel. If you have significant dilution (and I don't know what significant means), the drop will form a halo which is diesel fuel.

You could monitor the situation using this test to see that happens. Run the engine long and hard and maybe the diesel will go away.
