Wonder if you could dump that power steering fluid in the fuel tank and burn it

There's a fair amount of dirt and metal wear particulates in there that would likely be small enough to not be caught by your fuel filter and would therefore get into your injectors.

We go through so much to insure the cleanest fuel possible, so why would one risk that? Especially when you're SURE you're dumping contaminants into the fuel system!

I would not consider it, especially for so little potential return benefit.
