Efficiency at different altitudes

in Oil Heating
I have basically a mobile diesel fired boiler system. My boiler is calibrated for use at 6000 ft elevation. I have a possible job at around 11000 ft elevation. I know this would effect my efficiency, but would I be hurting anything running it at that altitude? Thanks for the help.
