If diesel is black, its usually thanks to algae. Not good. |

black diesel
Ya im talking about mixing oil and hydralic and automatic fluid, but ive heard of running it like fifty percent.
|
i have read there are additives in trans fluid you wouldnt want in your fuel system.
|
From what I have read transmission fluid will ruin injectors. So at that risk is it really worth it? Not to me, my injectors were spendy. I run 1 quart of two stroke oil to one tank of diesel. I would say just stick to used motor oil. Gear oil I dont know, i dont think that would be good either.
|
so what is the point of running used motor oil in the fuel. does it help, make it smoke, or just a easy way to dispose of it?:humm:
|
easy way to dispose of it ontop of cutting down on the ammount of fuel you actually use 30 gal tank with 1/4 of it used motor oil that's 7.5 gallons or almost a 21 dollar savings per fill up. thats a free oil change every 6 oil changes hahaha
|
does it not hurt milage or the engine or anything like that???
|
not that i know of ... but i could be rong
|
ill run it in my duece becuase it is a multifuel vehicle but in my cummins man i dont trust it
|
i know i wish i had a duece. i have wanted one since i was little. i want to know a little more about this because it sounds kinda intresting
|
It's a hotter burn - the original diesel was made to burn peanut oil.. Anyway, automatic trans fluid shouldn't hurt your injectors.. I run a quart or two in with every couple of tanks.. it cleans your injectors lol.
|
so how much should i pt of each in a tank??
|
I put 1/3 of a litre in every tank. 450000km's on my truck.
|
i have ran 15% in my cummins, ran more than 50% on my old 6.2 many times, just cant run to much in the cold weather, oil shuld be filtered really good tho if you dump it in the fuel tank
|
When i change my fuel filter i fill it with atf.

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:argh::argh: 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
