Can you mix transmission oil and diesel to run in a diesel engine?

Answer 1

yes you can, in fact you can run a diesel entirely on filtered Transmission Fluid. you will have a marginal loss of power, but considering the fact that if you have a deal with a shop, or you work in a shop, the fuel could entirely be free.

the reason a diesel is able to run in transmission fluid, is because it is a pertoleum based fluid, just like diesel, and engine oil. gasoline is petroleum based as well, BUT, since its flash point is much LOWER than engine oil, diesel fuel, and transmission fluid, it WILL cause damage due to extreme detonation. Diesels will run on almost any petroleum fluid based with a higher flash point than gasoline because combustion is caused by heat and compression, not spark.

i don't care who says it doesn't work, it does, i have seen it with my own two eyes with one truck, and have had contact with another person who has seen it as well. you may run into issues in the cold where you may need to add diesel fuel to the transmission fluid for it to burn, otherwise you just let it warm longer
