:a fellow that had logged several million miles :on trucks hauling for a fleet used to tell me he :mixed one quart of atf dextron with each tank of :diesel Maybe this works on truck diesels, but Mercedes, who have a LOT of experience with diesel engines, says that this is a bad idea. In their lab tests, MORE carbon is built up on the injectors and elsewhere when adding ATF. They do not recommend any additives at all. :From what I had been told seems that his truck :was the one that was only seen at the shop for :reg maintenance such as oil changes and THAT's probably why it lasted a long time (they guy took care of it)!
