Trans Fluid mixed with fuel?

Hey guys,
Aright been a long time seince ive posted, But.. Im looking for an opinion question. Ive been doing some looking around for other fuel sources, At $3.15 a gallon, diesel is outragous. soo, Ive been told about trans fluid, Burining it with fuel, burining it all on its own. right now im running a couple gallons with my full tank, No issues. Anyone else got some ideas? thoughts?
By the way, its used trans fluid, tripple filtered before it hits the tank... Ideas?
Oh by the way, running a 2000 F-350 7.3
~Jeremy.

Trans fluid is used in place of fuel, IE. add 5 gallons of it or so. It easy to get, Cheap.. (free) so.. Im a ford truck tech. so I do a trans flush.. Ive got four gallons of trans fluid, filter it. Put it in the fuel tank. so cheap. Just looking for what others think.

Whats the 2 stroke oil do? and how much are you useing in a tankful?

the old trucks you could use the ATF..these newer ones dont like it as much.plus all oils have changed since the old day's...maybe cheap now.. but letter on it could make up for it...i dont use it..but others add a small bottle of 2 cycle to a tank full...
