Hi guys, Ive been told by a few people (brian included) that putting a bit of atf in your diesel tank cleans and lubricates the pump and injectors, but would it do the same on a modern engine?

not sure about that malcom hipperson reckons a drop of hydraulic oil helps, I run a td5 a lot of people say 200ml of mineral 2stroke to a tank of diesel does it a world of good

ATF and hydraulic oil are roughly the same thing. I use it in all my tractors, petrol and diesel. I also use it in the BMW engine in the Range Rover. ATF comes in handy bottles. :D
