Just the way you would think red fuel same color as farm fuel,put a little used oil in and it will be black for ever:w2:

That's a good idea. I believe that ATF now days isn't made to burn, it's prob made to stay cooler. But take a quart of ATF and throw it on a fire and tell me it doesn't take off like a bat out of hell. I have a wood burner in my garage, I usually start it with a little bit of oil when I want it to start quicker. But this winter I used about a half a quart of some used ATF from my truck and it took off so quick and strong I couldn't believe It. Not doing that again, oil is way safer. :s:

atf is just as flambe as diesel, thats why fords and alot of other trucks run power steering coolers because they had more than a few trucks burn down
i run atf along with wmo and a little gear oil once in awhile and the only problem i have run into is when i get some wmo that someone ran a cleaner thru their motor to get the sludge out- it will clean my tank and clog my fuel filter with in 10 or 20 miles but i only pay 4bux for a napa gold so its worth it, i also run a fuel pressure gauge

Adding ATF In My Diesel Fuel
 
No ATF goes in trannys that's it. Nothing else... Only ashless 2 cycle should be used in diesel for more lube

Modern ATF through a VP just sounds bad
