Re:fuel conditioner

No I haven't All I ever used in mine is automatic transmission fluid. The cheapest you can buy. Four [4oz] to every fourth or fifth tank. Keeps pump lubed and injecters clean. So I was told by a diesel mechanic. <br><br> Waam Holland, Mich.<br> <br>

Re:fuel conditioner

DO NOT put ATF into your fuel as an additive. A few years ago, this was a common practice that was not as harmful as it is today. ATF nowadays have special detergents that can deteriorate pump seals, o-rings etc and cause BIG problems.

Re:fuel conditioner

Also may give the fuel a slight reddish tint which could be very bad if you get checked on the highway. Some off road diesel just happens to be reddish.
