ATF. Can it be fuel?

[Albannach]

As the title says, can I use old ATF as a fuel or as an additive?

you could use old engine oil for fuel if you mix it with something else to thin it a bit. but dont expect longivity of your engine..
just use it now and again as an additive to nourish your pump rubbers. but dont use old stuff. the old stuff will have metal particles in etc that ive been told will be bad for your injectors and stuff. but they will be so small i doubt that. but the metal particles will come out the exhaust into the atmosphere which is bad for things that breathe..

You can use ATF as a fuel additive and it is apparently an excellent injector cleaner. I would have thought that used ATF won't be much good though - it's already kind of burnt and might just go gloopy.

I wouldn't, personally.

I'll give it a miss!

Atf is more expensive than diesel, so I can't see the point, and I wouldn't want to put any previously used fuel into my surf ( even if mine is a heap of junk).
