can you use transmission fluid...
 

as a fuel? my grandfather thought that he acciedentaly filled his truck up with gas one day, and he called a local diesel shop and asked what to do.. they said put tracnsmission fluid in with the gas... i turned out he didnt put gasoline in it, but i was wondering if i could use my used tranny fluid as a fuel... or may be they told him to put trans oil... idk it would make more sense.

I suppose you could, it is a large hydrocarbon, but i wouldnt personally... especially not used stuff.

so, wait the at fluid or oil? isnt the at trans fluid a solvent?

What the...?
 

AT fluid or oil? What's that supposed to mean? Thought they were the same. WTF :-X09?

i mean the auto trans fluid or the manual trans oil, which one would be better to burn,

You can
 

Better skick to the ATF. I have tried it in a 2000 PSD and it ran just fine. It was just an experement, I think it could lead to problems down the road. I burn it in an old generator (Listeroid) and have been doing so for several months without any trouble.

hmm...
 

i will do that when i do my next atf change! lol :-jammin

There are guys around here that have run it for years in their Fords. They run it year around with no problems. (from what they tell me)

Been running it for a couple years now. I have used a ton of it. For nine months of the year I run a 95%(used atf)/5%(diesel) mix. And 50/50 in the winter. Saving a s***t load of money!:-jammin

wow!
 

where do you get all that used ATF? jeez

A friend of mine has a shop and does alot of tranny flushes.

haha, smart, i gota get a hook up like that!

I have always used ATF to refill fuel filters, plus its a great lubricative additive.

hey thats a good idea, thats a lot cheaper than diesel kleen!!! il do that my next change.

There are some on the Mercedes forum that say it cleans their injectors.
