Does anyone burn straight vegetable oil or kerosene in their IDI's? Or any other fuels?

Mine actually ran quieter when on the oil, better lube in the injection parts maybe?

I think you have to be more careful running used ATF due to the different stuff that could contaminate it. You might just have to filter it better, I'm not sure.
