Anyone have any experience adding either a quart of 30W or a quart of ATF to
each tank of diesel?Engine is a 2003 5.9L HO. I did this for years on a '93
Ford 7.3 diesel, it really helped the injector pump run quieter, plus there
was less stalling. (All this came about when the government mandated
de-sulphurized diesel for environmental reasons, thus robbing the diesel
fuel of a lot of slickum. At the time, Ford recommended adding a pint of
some majic stuff they had to each tank of diesel, but it cost about $4 a
shot, so not many takers. Operators of long haul transport were routinely
adding ATF to their diesel fuel, so I tried it. Worked great. )

Sounds logical but atf is RED colored, a problem
in the sense that it will give the appearance of using
untaxed offroad fuel if you get audited. Maybe some
of the additives recommended by would be better advised.

I'm a veggie user and have research this type of "fuel". If you must put oil
in the diesel fuel. Use SVO only. Why, If you use dino oil. You will
generate ash after the burn. This ash can abrade you engine.

Best;
