ATF in fuel?

[cjkeeliii]

I read a post several weeks ago that said to pour a couple of quarts of automatic transmission fluid into the fuel tank to determine if the IP was shot. Will this hurt the 6.2 and does the type of ATF matter? I also read about adding ATF to a deuce's fuel to increase BTU's. Any comments?

my neighbor says it works good for an injector cleaner. i, myself, run marvel mystery oil.

I have several gallons of the stuff around the house and thought it would be a good way to get rid of it without throwing it away. Of course, I would not add but maybe a quart at a time.

you can use a few quarts at a time, wont hurt anything. I would stick to "regular" atf, no fancy stop-leak stuff (that could be bad).
