Atf In Fuel

Our diesel mec at work told me to throw in a quart of ATF with every tank, said it was good for the pump, injectors and would give it a little boost.
I have heard hear that it won't help the injector pump cause the 7.3 does't use that kink of pump. What about it. Does seem to give a little boost.
Running in '99 f350 sd 4wd PSD.
Thanks for any input.

If you want an additive, try Diesel Kleen. ATF is not the answer. Just my 2 cents. Hope it helps!

Do a search on this. It was discussed about 6 months to a year ago. Long discussion though.
