Dosn't matter what the trooper thinks, I guess if you have a good lawyer he's gonna make them prove that it's untaxed fuel before you get convicted and I don't see how they are gonna do that.

No No No - it doesnt work good. The additives/friction modifiers in this stuff are damaging the very tight tolerances of todays modern injection pumps. It does not matter if its computer controlled or not. Transmission fluid does not belong anywhere in your fuel system. You could get away with this in the 60s when ATF was completely a different formulation...but dont even try to run it now.


Oh and btw did you know that Ford owns Cummins?....

Ok if you run a h/p fuel system it wont run on a high percentage of trans fluid. My truck will run 100% trans fluid with cetane booster. I run used trans fluid. And if you filter it a couple times enough of the foreign material is taken out. And I know I spelled that wrong. I know guys with 6.0l engines running 50%. If you do it right it doesn't do any harm.

When people say it is bad for a "modern engine".
Exactly what or when do you mean.
I run a 1985 4cyl Datsun/Nissan ute on wvo with a little diesel or upto 25% atf.
It is the indirect injection also called a swirl chamber design.
My fuel is heated in the fuel line to whatever temp the engine coolant is running, and I have electric heaters on the injector lines for start up.
But things don't get cold here in North Qld Australia.
At one time I did try the black diesel but I felt that it had too much black smoke, after all none of us want to stick out from the crowd when the cops are doing random traffic stops.

so many people doubt all this stuff. if you filter it good it works great. the oil makes the cummins quiet down a bunch. i can prove to anyone it all works just fine. ive mixed about everything and not one problem from anyone of them

That may work OK in your 95, but I would not recommend it in a CR engine.
