When i change my fuel filter i fill it with atf.

Man thats scary...
You worry about how poor the lubricity of ULSD is and you throw in a fluid thats even more harsh on your fuel system than the new diesel...Go Figure

After spending the cash I have building my fuel system you will NEVER find me putting ANYTHING that is not a approved additive in it at all.By doing what is listed here I would just be throwing the cash I spent into a shredder and wasting it.

BTW...
The use of transmission fluid in a diesel for the puurpoe of "cleaning the injectors and fuel system" is nothing more than a old school truck drivers tale and does NOTHING for your fuel system except cause problems.

In the shop we had a 7.3 come in with a bad injector oring making fuel and the truck had a full tank when we noticed it and im guessing the mix was about 50/50. I syphoned it out and put it in the truck

They couldnt burn it very well so i may as well make use of their loss haha
