ATF mixed into desiel?

A buddy is telling me that guys are running used, filtered ATF in their 7.3s. Anywhere from 25% to 100% ATF. Anyone ever heard of this? I've heard of old timers adding a quart to a tank, but not this much. Don't think I want to do this to my beast, but I am curious.

Some people do but I wouldn't. ATF can leave deposits on the injectors.
