Hey it’s Wes here with the Foxbody. Thanks for letting me show off my mustang in your vid and hanging with me for a bit when I was broke down😂 it’s all good and running now👍🏽
Anytyme pal!!!!!
Been supplementing my 99 7.3 with ATF since it was new. It boosts the cetane back up to 99 standards before the ULSD. Truck has 307,000 and still gets 21 mpg. I used ATF in my 18 wheeler, 1 gallon per 50 gal mixture kept it awake. Never an issue.
I assume this is for the 7.3 direct inject engine? Think it would work the same for the 96? If so, what atf to fuel ratio?
@@The_ZachChristensen I certainly do think it would work for any 7.3 with zero emissions controls. 1/2 ounce per gallon of fuel. It won’t hurt anything if you get too much.
@@dougrogillio2223 awesome! thank you. I appreciate the response! Have a good one!
I have a 2002 7.3L…
What brand ATF you running?
Didn’t know if anyone thinks basic cheap parts store ATF oil works just as good as big brands
@@White-man3 i use whatever is cheapest.
2002 F250 4x4 Lariat 7.3, 375k miles, original engine, injectors, 3rd fuel pump (upgrading soon) 2nd transmission. When I lived in AZ, ran 7 years on filtered 100% WVO (not bio) in a heated 60 gallon tank ( the look on ppl at stop lights smelling like yummy tacos n burritos) just flipped a switch to diesel fuel before ending the day and for start up in the morning. Loved running it through a smog test!
Still own today until I die, then I’ll pass it on to my boy.
I used to do this with used engine oil, trans fluid and machine shop cutting oil in my 1996 Cummins 12 valve. Never a problem.
My grandfather has a 97 12 valve 3500. Owned it since new and has done this since new. It has 180k miles on it. He doesn’t use as much as in the video but I believe almost 5 gallons. And it still runs good.
Before I installed an e fuel kit on my 96, I used to top of my fuel filter with ATF before starting after a filter change. Don’t doubt this at all.
In my 6.9TIDI I ran ATF when I got it but also ran waste oil, 5 gallons to 15 gallons of fuel oil. It would only smoke on cold mornings on initial start but once warm cleaned up.
In developing nations, many mechanics mix diesel with atf to clean the fuel system, due to the cleaning properties of ATF. Some even use it as an engine flush, too.
If by "Developing Nations" you mean New Jersey, you're right. Lol
I love the sound of single shot injectors in a old 7.3
Chexk out the videos of the 6.7 powerstroke running with no pilot injection.
Man I absolutely LOVE those obs diesels!! I still remember having to drive my bosses Ford 7.3 when I worked at a stair building shop when I was 15. We used to say if your gas car sounds like a diesel somethings wrong! They sounded so good though!! Love the 7.3’s sound! LOVE my 6.7, but the 7.3 just sounds a little better!
Should hear a 6.7 with pilot injection turned off
Ran 2-stroke oil in our semis when ULSD first came out because people were losing pumps. Then they started adding lubricity additives to the fuel at the refinery.
In my old 7.3 I ran home heating oil; this is WAAAAAAAAAAAAY cooler. Great video brother.
Hey thanks buddy!!
I was thinking about running heating oil buttttttt its not free and my house is heated with natural gas 😔
In my 18 wheel old trucks , I uses to carry a bottle of ATF and a new fuel filter for when the fuel filter stopped up , and had to change the fuel filter on the side of the road , in the dark , while it was raining .
That foxbody is 🔥
Man I really miss manuals in trucks.
Ditto😔
Awesome video
That is one of the coolest trucks I've seen. Love the sound of a single shot 7.3 as well as that 6.0 fan... bet she sounds like a jet when it's hot out
O yes. When the fan kicks on you know it. But it keeps the truck cool in the Florida summers
@@codyphillips48
I'm in texas man. Know all about heat
@@3374jj the 6.0 fan was done to pull more air through the AC condenser haha. As you know the colder the AC the better 🤣🤣🤣🤣 fat guys need good AC systems.
@@codyphillips48
I'm 6ft 3 and 250 lbs...
Yes , I'm aware of how we need ac... lol
Man, thise 7.trees sure look good with the efuel in the valley
I love the efuel system as it uses mostly factory parts.
I recommend a Raycor filter between the tank & pump.
Been doing this a long time without. Never have had a problem
Ran a couple quarts of atf in my 5.9 Cummins when i ran out of fuel up town a few months ago, and i honestly felt like it gave me more power. My fuel gauge doesn't work, but i had a couple bottles of atf and had seen a reel about it a few weeks prior and it got me home
I swapped a 12 valve into my Chevy over the winter, and now all the used transmission oil from flushes at the shop I work at goes right into my fuel tank.
I like ATF over waste motor oil, seems like the ATF doesn't contain all the sludge and crap you have to filter out with a centrifuge. But I still throw a couple gallons of waste oil in there from time to time. Runs great.
When i worked at a ford dealer we pre-filled the new fuel filters with atf. It doesn't smoke or run any different
Love that 5 speed! Hmm, maybe I should convert my 6.7 to stick…???? 😳
Sick!
I have an old 2003 7.3, that last of the simpler diesels. I've run new atf, motor oil, jet fuel, all kinds of shit.
The key is using a centrifuge to get contamination out of the used oil. I won't put used "fuels" in my truck, but I always have half empty jugs of "fuel" in the shop, and when I get tired of it taking up space, I pour it in, and run it. Never any problems, still on stock factory injectors @ 288k+ miles. Cold starts like new, even in negative temps.
I believe the additional lubrication has added life to the fuel side, as most I know have had to do injectors by this milage. I plan to go to 300k, then switch to 238/100's, which the truck is already built for. Should net around 450hp, 1000 ft lbs of torque when turned up all the way. Transmission was by far the most expensive part of the upgrades to support that power level. Torque converter alone was $1300.
When the shit hits the fan, it's good to know that all the other unusable vehicles stranded on the road equals fuel for those of us with these ultra reliable dinosaurs.
I love my old 7.3. even after getting out of new trucks I work on.
Yeah I only filter through a 6.7 lift pump. Never a problem
@@codyphillips48 I absolutely believe you, just remember... The fuel side plunger and the walls of the fuel side of the injector are taking a beating with any contamination. Best to use a centrifuge to remove as much as possible for longevity.
I've run probably hundreds of gallons of various fuels, even hydraulic oil. It all seems to burn the same, but smells different. I just won't put used "fuel" in. I personally don't have a centrifuge, or I would. I recycle a LOT of free fuel. Kinda of a waste really! Should be burning it!
Curious what size are the injectors?
My mixes 10 gallons of diesel in a 55 gallon barrel fill it up with transmission fluid filter it in filter it out double filters both ways smokes when idling a little one starting like an old semi from the 60s when idling clears up one hour on the highway runs clean on Highway
How well would this work in the frigid north during the winter? Should this be diluted with gas or regular diesel? Temps drop to -40C sometimes
I wld agree
My 97 has over 500 k also. Where would you be able to get that much ATF used bulk to make it practical to use ? By the way that is a lot of fuel pressure 70 psi at idle. I put a fuel bowl delete kit on mine which still keeps the mechanic fuel pump in the valley. It makes about 45 psi at idle. I taped a fuel pressure gauge to the windshield on my truck to see what pressure it would make under load. My truck is a 5 speed also . I ran it up the mountain here above town 7 % grade to 11000 ft above sea level. As long you keep the rpms up over 2500 under load that mechanical fuel pump would make 75-80 psi .
Point is for you OBS guys is that it might not be worth the effort to change it out to an electric pump as long as you can keep the rpms up under load. My truck has the baby swamp single shot injectors like the truck above. Mine has a few other upgrades nothing crazy. It made 386 HP at the rear wheel on a dyno . It’s a daily driver.
I was a dealer tech. All used trans fluid from trans flushes came to me and the other techs with 7.3's. I've been running it for 6 or 7 years over 200k miles. I'm running the factory fuel pressure regulator kit from Mark F. It was definitely worth swapping to e fuel. The just for the idle quality it's worth it. Not to mention easier to swap filters and prime the system. Plus the only part I paid for was the fuel bowl delete.
Cody good deal Bro , it’s working for you. 👍.
You answered my question about how to get access to the used atf to make it be practical. You where in a good spot to make it happen 😊
Whoa....tempted to run this on my stock 2000 7.3 powerstroke.
Have run atf with diesel through skidsteer/excavator for cleaning properties. No problems.
.....thoughts?
Runs great & no smoke
interesting...
What brand is the radio in your truck? I love the gauges in that.
We told ya in dee vid

I have been dealing with used transmission fluid for 10 years I have distilled cracked or refined with heat 780 degrees back to a base oil even having a centrifuge will not clean used automatic transmission fluid it is packed with aluminum steel Copper Brass hardened steel friction material water glue and epoxies binding agents
The only issue i can think of with used atf would be the suspended contaminants that the detergents cleaned out previously, they might be leaving deposits in the cylinder 🤷♂
I can see benefits burning virgin atf though with new detergents that would clean out everything.
I ran new stuff in my landcruiser today to try clean up cold start smoking, it smoked heaps but ran great, will see how it starts up tomorrow.
The suspended contaminates in the old oil is still going to have to pass thru the 50 micron filter, so its all clean before hitting the pump and injectors, piston and cylinder. A diesel engine is basically an oil engine, they will run off any oil, uncle sam* wont like the pollution from the oil however..
"50 micron filter" hahahaha laughs in sub micron particles
The injectors sound alot quieter then my 95 injectors when they were on trans fluid, one time i almost ran out of fuel and had some used engine oil, hydrolic oil, and air tool oil, i poured it all in there and got to the fuel atation an hour away
I've put over 100k on these injectors running nothing but straight trans fluid
Now thats whats up
Awsome but don't get caught with that red dye in the tank!
Look it up
You have a couple miles on that truck... :P
Theoretically with this work on a 6.0 It started deleted and I’m about to put a air dog on it
Will work with a 6.0 but it needs to be cut with Diesel
Yo man so would the black diesel or used motor oil work on a 1996 Ford f350 without modifications?
Possibly
Arod, not to get off topic, but are the new high pressure fuel pumps in the 2021 powerstrokes still cp4 or cp4.2 ? I am hearing horror stories about those pumps. Would a cp3 work in the new diesel powerstroke or would it not be strong enough?
Cp3 does not fit. Uses cp4.2...only horror story's i hear are from dumba$$'s who aren't doing what they are supposed to.
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod and I assume you mean that fuel additives NEED to be used ??
EVERY TANK!!! LIKE NO JOKE
@@armedprophet3321 also be sure your checking the fuel your getting before pumping into the tank.....
So basically you would burn up the fuel pump and injectors in a newer 2017 6.7 if you ran a gallon of atf mixed with 15 gallons of diesel? Is there any downsides and upsides to running atf like this in old ass diesel engines? We use olddddd cranes and I wonder if tossing a quart or gallon of atf in them would help at all?
The upside for me anyways it's free fuel. This main reason I run it. Plus I'm being environmentally friendly. Gotta make Greta happy 🤣🤣🤣
Being its ATF it will also clean, as ATF has cleaning agents in it. It's also a decent lubricant.
If the engines are old idi engines the atf will clean and lubricate the fuel pump and keep the spray nozzles clean and spraying good patterns for combustion. I've been running it in my old cat motors in my semi's and dump trucks for years and put right around a half gallon to 20 gallons of fuel in my 01 7.3 SD F350 a few weeks back. In my opinion it keeps the fuel system clean and lubed and it just helps it all run smoother longer. My $.02
Basically the old diesel will absolutely kick a new diesel in the nut sack. Plus we don't have to buy Def exhaust fuel... hahaha
What’s the info on the stereo with the gauges , what harness did you get for the obd2?
Wait think I figured how you did it , Bluetooth obd2 scanner to smart phone then screen mirror to your radio deck screen ?
Yes to everything except the screen mirroring
Android radio, torquepro app and obd2 adapter.
👍
I run Jet A occasionally no prist, tho
Jet-A is the same as #1 heating oil and diesel before ULSD. Paperwork and added antistatic additive is all. Shipped Jet-A by the millions of gallons to the villages so it could be used as Jet fuel, Diesel or heating oil.
firewoodfred says " get a transfer pump they are only $20-25 on Amazon. you'll never tip a 5 gallon can again"!!!
Weeeerdd
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod Or get the EZ-Pour Hi-Flo replacement spout. They're the next best thing to the ones the military uses, that can empty a 5 gallon can in 60 seconds.
I've got a 6.7 lift pump to transfer fluid butttt I left it in Florida at the other house.
How long have you been running straight trans fluid? I've heard that it can foul up the injectors and glowplugs.
I dont foul is a term i wld use here. But to answer....long time & no
About 6 years over well over 100k.
@@codyphillips48 where do you get all the atf, local trans shops?
@@ghostrider-tj7du from doing transmission flushs on customers vehicles.
@@codyphillips48 talk about free fuel😂😂 life hack if I ever heard one🤣
Where do you guys recommend sourcing waste ATF?
Shops
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod lol, yeah I guess that makes sense. I feel like an idiot showing up in a diesel jetta at random asking for old atf fluid but its worth a shot I guess.
Lololol
@@sgfreak96 your going to help the business get rid of used oil but you have to take time and filter it. Use a strainers until you can filter through coffee filters. It's a long process but it's completely safe
@@jeffheiks3022 I run it through a 6.7 lift pump/filters and call it a day. 10 micron and a 4 micron filter. Then it goes through another 10 micron filter on the truck
Lmao who’s the newb taking the vent caps OFF?! You’re just supposed to loosen them!!😂
Ummmmm tink bout that sonny
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod lol, I don’t even touch the vent cap until after I start fueling, then I loosen the vent cap, but never ever take it off or else you get splatter everywhere like he did.
make sure to use Ford approved mercon LV fluid only in your powerstroke fuel system.🤯
LV only way to go....cleans AND lubes....win win, right🥴🥴🥴🥴🍭🍭🍭🍭
Is it the letters L and V or the Roman numerals for 55?
Yepp LV is 55
@@alexshikin5093 doesn't it mean Low Viscosity? The new fluid (ULV) means Ultra Low Viscosity, I believe.
@@Kevin09210 Maybe, That why I'm asking.
So where do you get tons of used atf and how is this cheaper than veg oil or just plain diesel??
Shops.........
I don't know about your location but here in Missouri at our shop they pay us to take are waste oil
I got mine from work. I did trans flushes daily and I'd get flushes from other techs. It was 100% free so it was definitely the cheapest option for me. I didn't pay for fuel for 5 years. Put over a 100k on the truck that way.
would this be considered offroad fuel
Um no
Yes, you're not paying taxes on it. So even though it's not "off road diesel" they would still fine you. But... they have to catch you using it... I've read some articles but don't see any saying it's illegal. Just depends on who checks your tank and how they interpret what you're running.
Would this cause a legal issue with the thought that it’s off-road diesel?
....but its not off road....
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod If they dipped it they would think it was.
Can, YOU tell the difference between diesel fuel & STRAIGHT trans fluid......???🤔🤔🤔
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod No
Sounds like you got a problem you might wanna get that looked at
Not in my 7.3 or my 6.7 they run just fine the way they are
It's being used because I'm cheap. Free 99 or 3 something a gallon. I'll take the risk. 100k later still running the same baby swaps.
No smoke. Typical stock 7.3
Off Road Diesel is RED!!!!
Really i thought it was blue
Off road diesel is alot thinner
The only difference in off/on road diesel is the small amount of red dye they put in the bulk fuel tank .
@@richardduke9788 facts. This is absolutely the truth!
then why do a few 7.3s I've had run like shit with red off road diesel then?
