we still do it here. my 91 has had it every since it was new. i always fill my fuel filter in my 08 with it. 96 k on it now. i put about a gal in my pull truck to a tank. tractor gets it too.

 

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

 

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.

 

it makes my puller run better.

 

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

 

anyone tried this in a newer ford like a 6.0?

 

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

 

Agreed.

 

what about other additives like Amsoil and BD will they effect a tuned engine, specifically dpf and egr delete.

Modern ATF through a VP just sounds bad
