Can You Put Transmission Fluid In Diesel Fuel
Can You Put Transmission Fluid In Diesel Fuel. Oil or transmission fluid was sometimes added to gas tanks to clean and lubricate the engine’s valve train. Our barn is wood sided and apparently it’s common in this area to mix some concoction of diesel fuel, used transmission fluid and whatever this oil/grease is in the barrels to treat the wood on the barn.
After fuel reached $3.48/gal he decides he wants to use alternate fuels; Otherwise, just run the stuff gff recommended and you will be good to go. Then, he started the engine and let it run enough so that he was sure it was.

1989 range rover, powered by used humvee 6.2 diesel engine. I do know on bosch mechanical injectors, it does in fact help clean the nozzles to correct spray patterns affected by carbon, and on bosch injection pumps it can temporarily stop a shaft seal thats leaking, as it softens the seals. It's probably not as good as commercially available diesel fuel additives, but in a pinch, it works well.

It was common practice in the past. It's the same dye used to identify off road diesel. He reproted a 4 mpg increase on the way home.
But….Atf Has A Dye In It.
It’s supposed to protect the wood from the weather and insects, such as carpenter bees. Im not the most knowledgeable on diesels so take it easy on me but i was told today that if you put a quart of trans fluid in your fuel tank when it is about 2/3 empty and run it out it will burn out the carbon that builds up, is he pulling my leg or for real? The use of automatic transmission fluid in diesel was started back in the days of the first low sulfur diesel, and was added as an injection pump lubricant and cetane booster.
If You Are Caught With Dyed In Your Fuel, You Can Face Very Harsh Penal.
He said to use a pint of transmission fluid in a tank of gas, which he has been doing for some time. It usually has good lubricity and excellent detergent additives, so it will clean the fuel system out and lube everything better than standard diesel fuel. Lots of people do alot of things to try and get performance gains from diesel trucks.
If You Really Want To Improve Fuel Economy/Power Install A Water/Meth Injection System.
Also, be sure you only put in half a quart if you fuel up, and are only half empty. Also transmission fluid will leave ash deposits throughout your engine and exhaust system. Is this safe or an urban legend or a total waste of money?
