I ran 1000 to 1 mix in my 05 Ram. Mostly due to common lift pump problems. The cylinders and valves are the least of your worries on a modern diesel are not problematic at factory settings

I use Power Service additive, prevents gelling when cold and helps lube the older diesel engines. I'd be hesitant to add ATF as injectors and pumps aren't cheap.

Diesel tech here.
People have been doing this since way before ULSD. They claim multiple purposes, cleaning, lubricity when running #1, restoring/swelling seals. Most fill the filter when changing it rather than dumping it in the tank, some do both. I have never seen it do any good, on the other hand I have never seen any harm, makes no difference if it's a Cat, 7.3 or 6.0 PS, 6.6 or 7.8 DM, ISX, ISM, or B series Cummins, Mack, International, John Deere, or Volvo, DPF and EGR equipped or not, HUEI, electronic, or mechnical injectors, if you want to have at it, if not it'll be just fine too.

NO!
I work for a major diesel manufacturer, and can tell you first hand about the number of engine failures I've personally seen due to people putting stuff in the fuel tank they shouldn't have. Sure, the older engines (pre 1990's) with mechanical fuel systems were more tolerant of crap in the fuel, but modern electric engines, with High Pressure Common Rail Electronic injection systems are very sensitive to fuel quality. The only thing safe to add to your fuel will be additives that are listed as approved in the owners manual. This might be things like lubricity and cetane enhancers, anti-soap agents (the new ultra low sulfur fuels form soap deposites), and perhaps some other appropriately branded and approved products to periodically clean and treat the fuel system. Many engine manufactures also have approved systems that can mix used engine oil with the fuel in very small quantities. The purpose is to provide longer oil change intervals by slowly burning off some of the "used" oil and replacing it with "clean" oil from a make up tank. I'm not aware of any passenger vehicle applications that do this, but it is found on industrial engines as well as some over the road trucks. The old adage about ATF in the fuel had to do with the detergents found in ATF. The though by many was that these detergents would help clean up any deposits in the injector and in the cylinder. I'm not sure anyone ever proved it did or didn't work, but I've hear a lot of guys swear to it. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
My buddy who owns his own trucking company buys it in bulk. He claims it gets him more mileage and lubes the system. He runs it in his 99 F250. When I owned my F350 I used clear filtered vegtable oil. There was a noticable difference when I switched tanks, the truck ran smoother, and got better fuel mileage. Smelled like french fries. I knew where it came from and it was tested for water and acid prior to use. I call BS on better fuel mileage. It may run "smoother" due to some changes in the combustion event (probably a slower event due to the change in fuel properties from the veggie oil), but pretty tough to put anything in the fuel tank to help you get better mileage. |

I converted my 2005 Ram to run vegetable oil. I ran about 1,000 gal of good clean oil with no problem. Then I got hold of some oil with something in it that ate my injectors. After replacing the injectors I decided that the only thing I will put in my engine is what it is designed for.

Yep, a lot of modern diesels can run either JetA or Diesel (especially military contract built products) but those engine typically have enhancements to the fuel system to help it live on the really "dry" Jet Fuel. |

Couple of things I've learned while mixing waste atf with diesel. You need to filter the waste fluid because it will contain small amounts of metal and clutch material that is abrasive to your injection pump and injectors. (Clutches are made of asbestos)
I used filter bags in a PVC housing I built to filter as it went in a 55 gal drum. Also put several stereo speakers on the side of the drum and let it sit for 30 days to remove any suspended metal. Filtering was thru a 5 micron bag and then a 1 micron bag. I would not do it on a newer diesel because the emissions are monitored much closer and it lowers the cetane rating of your fuel.

Yep, a lot of modern diesels can run either JetA or Diesel (especially military contract built products) but those engine typically have enhancements to the fuel system to help it live on the really "dry" Jet Fuel. Has nothing to do with the fuel system; current Jet A is too high in sulphur content for aftertreatment systems, universally. If the vehicle is equipped with a DPF and other associated aftertreatment, Jet A or JP8 will destroy it and will do so in only a few regen cycles. There is no additive or physical "enhancement" to the vehicle to alter the sulphur content or allow the particulate filter substrate to deal with it or clean it out during regeneration. Not speculation, this is strictly fact. Some Jet-A is even above the allowable sulphur limit of the old LSD (500ppm) On-Road fuel. At the lowest figures quoted, it is still ~2600% above the allowable manufacturer limits for aftertreatment systems (15ppm) Commercial aviation fuel (Jet A/A-1) contains sulfur at concentrations of 400-800 ppm, although there is significant variation. By contrast, US road transportation fuel is subject to an ultra-low sulfur fuel standard of 15 ppm, which is about 97% less than jet fuel. |

-TCW-3 in non-cat engines. -ATF to fill fuel filters if I don't have any diesel handy in all mechanical pump & HEUI engines to re-prime after servicing. Helps get weak mechanical injector pump problem children primed after changing fuel filters mainly. |

Yeah, I'll the first to admit that I don't know shit about diesels. I bought mine about a year ago, due to the great gas mileage. Figured I'd give it a shot. Not a truck, VW tdi. So far I'm enjoying it, a little rough at idle, but no biggie. Plus I love the go go gadget smoke screen when I floor it.
So from what you guys are saying is that I should be running an additive, cause I'm pre 2007? Mine is 2005. |

When I worked for Ryder we did a lot of PMs on the tractors. When we did the oil changes, we pumped the used oil through a RACOR filter system which diluted the used oil with diesel fuel and dumped it right back into the fuel tank on the truck. We didn't have to pay for oil disposal and they may even have saved a few bucks on fuel costs by burning the used oil. This was business as usual for years and I never heard of any injector or pump problems. ETA: I stopped working for Ryder in '89 or '90, I don't know what their practice is now.

They are irresistable. I only lurk on the diesel forums (including my own ) because engaging in that is work instead of recreation for me. Literally. But I just can't seem to turn it down here. Primarily because 98% of ARF doesn't know their head from their ass when it comes to oil burners, and 1.5% of the remaining two think they know something when they don't; "facts" usually generated from 50% "my daddy told me's", 50% stupidity, and 50% imagination/making shit up. Yes, that's 150% fucking ignorance

I know this much, I'm not using my truck as the test subject to see if ATF is safe or not. Lol Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

The derp is strong in this thread.
Why the fuck would you run atf in a 15000 dollar engine when they make a thing call fuel additive? Buy any major brand of fuel additive and use it. They are all the same. Made by pretty much the same blending facility. Edit: EGR started in 03. 2007+ was dpf. 2010+ was SCR/DEF. Don't run an oil in anything that has a good fuel filter. You'll have issues. |
