Two guys at this shop in town say they are running transmission fluid in their tanks, that they get from the 55 gallon drums after they flush people's transmissions!!!
Anyone heard of this? Legal?

 

That can't be goord for the injectors can it?

 

i had a guy at work tell me to take straight veggie oil and run it through some coffee filters and put it in my tank i told him to put it in his first he said he'd rather pay for the diesel

 

They might be able to run at 20-30% blend,but the better have one hell of a good filter system.I seriously doubt there running it pure.

 

what about kerosene??? i heard it is safe to run in these trucks... and i heard running tranny fluid actually cleans the injectors... i heard this from ford motor company...

 

Kerosene is No. 1 fuel just no road taxes or additive injected in during terminal loading-pure no.1fuel.Kerosene usaully isn't any cheaper,atleast in Ill.

 

Yep, Kerosene is good old # 1 Diesel. Amazingly straight Kero is available year round over here as well as blends. It gives you less fuel milage and its about 50 cents more than # 2 a gallon.

 

but kero seem like it runs better in these trucks... i got some in mine now... is it safe though???

 

Kerosene will run perfectly fine.The kerosene/no1 is just refined more it is 1 step closer to being gas.Running k1 you are giving up pulling power and probably atleast 10%in mileage.K1 is thinner than no2 diesel and it does not provide adequate lubricity to the injector system.Most only run it in the winter to keep fuel from gelling.
