Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Atf

[VVielmas]

using atf in the fuel tank is it good for the injection pump i hear that its not good. can someone tell me if true or not?

I've used it on gas motors to remove carbon buildup, but I am a diesel noob and have no other input on your question.

Diesel goes in the fuel tank and ATF in the automatic transmission. Modern ATF should not be run thru a modern IP. Do a seach and read all night. SNOKING

I agree!



And to further the flame responses: Propane is for BBQ's, alcohol is for drinking, nitrous is for dentists, and gasoline is for washing parts.

At what cost to the operation/health of the VP44????? SNOKING

 

[DCreed]

it would kill the vp im sure. it depends on the type since atf does have some lube properties. however its not near what diesel itself has and would dry out the fuel.



it used to be way back when you could run it in the fuel and clean the system out real well but back then they pumps where invincvible

You guys are missing another potential problem

Red Atf + diesel fuel = red diesel = huge fine $$$$. :{



You guys should try just burning straight diesel fuel. It's worked well for years and billions of miles, almost like it was formulated to be used in a diesel engines. Who'da thought?

Negative. That is a non-issue. The dye that they test for is not the dye in ATF. ORD dye is a very specific dye and is only used in untaxed and high sulfur fuels, and they don't do a color test. They do a test for the specific chemical (Solvent Red 26 or 164) that causes the color change.

I understand that however why give them a reason to dig deeper? Around here they dip the tank, if it's not red they don't need to test it. If it is, they get out the chemstry set. Especally since the whole ATF in fuel being a benifit is just an assumption. There are alot of products that can be used as a lubricant, most of which should not be added to fuel.

True, but the way you worded it, someone could get the wrong idea.
