Tranny Fluid = Clean Fuel Sytem?
Just read a thread on dodgetalk.com and someone mentioned adding a bottle of Dextron to the fuel system at certain intervals. This is supposed to clean the fuel system. Any thoughts?

A long time ago it was true. But not today. Modern ATF fluids have additives and friction modifiers for the clutch packs that will damage the injection pump and the injectors. Run a good diesel fuel additive or biodiesel.
