[diesel_mercedes] Re: A little ATF in the tank For ultra low sulfur fuels
Doug ;
I've not seen any Typ A ATF in sometime now ~ just this past weekend we were looking for Dexron for the 1980 Caddy Hearse and could only find Dexron III .
A bit of ATF in the gastank of my old 1949 Chevy Shop Truck stops the valves from " Shooting Ducks " @ idle....

Dear Doug,
I am a type A and have had gas in my tank for 70 years. It is increasing as I made a couple of gallons of chili beans this past week. I don't use this in the car, but it seriously increases the gas emissions in and around my dwelling. My wife bought some Beano and I will now have to check and make sure she does not secretly add that to my gas tank.

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re: A little gas in the tank, also ultra low sulfur fuels
This is very interesting to me. I failed the emission test some years ago and the vehicle in question was not worth spending on so on a tip I dumped some Dexron auto oil in the tank. I did nothing elkse and passed with flying colors.
Still don't understand why!

Gents, agree with Nate, she is a keeper, good wives are very hard to come by,, I have been without one for more than a dozen years, just keep a relationship with my bookkeeper, she is a keeper but not wife material tho.
As too a couple gallons of gas into the Diesel fuel, also if your worried about the ultra low sulfur fuel, here is my recommendation, buy yourself a case of the cheap type A automatic transmission fluid, use it by a quart to each gallon of gas in the Diesel tank, or in the case of the ultra low sulfur, about two quarts per 20 gallons or each tank,, should do the trick. Add to the tank before filling, so it will mix better.
Maybe illegal in California tho, but I won't tell, it works tho, have done that since about 1959, hundreds of times an no problems, actually it solves many a problem.
Type A is a low viscosity, high detergent fluid originally used in 40s an 1950s automatic transmissions, an has been used by pro techs for many years for several problems in engines, like sticking valve lifters an oil pump screens dirty or pressure relief valves trying to stick, an slow cleaning or flush of old , high mile engines.
I would not put type A into the crankcase of a Diesel tho, due too the extra high bearing loads of the Diesel, would be a possible problem there, never have done that tho, maybe with a very high mile Diesel engine, an not wanting to tear it down, or do a overhaul.
