I do not suggest anyone doing this. I just wanted to show that I was seriously doing this for some time. It was something I heard of and decided to try years ago.
atf is a solvent oil so it will clean and lube your fuel system. the extra heat it makes when it burns will clean the motors upper valves and cylinders. removing carbon deposits. if your upper is lubed like the lower end is it will work easier and make more power and lest friction or resistance. ===better gas mileage
I have done this faithfully in several vehicles over several years time. 30 years ago, I started doing this with Murphy's Top Cylinder Lubricant, when it started getting hard to find I switched to Marvel Mystery Oil, and when one of my friends was working for a courier service and he found out from their mechanics they used ATF because of how clean it kept their motors, how many more miles they could put on their motors and how much money they saved in gasoline, I switched to ATF and I've been using it every since. I log my fuel mileage every time I fill up and I assure you, one can tell when they fill up without putting ATF in their tank. They suffer from loss of power, motor noise and poor fuel mileage. The only time I don't put ATF in one of my vehicles is when I run out, and even then I purchase more ASAP.

Thats old school.But works good I use to pour it straight down the carb while working the throttle and it would smoke like a freight train but it cleaned the intake and combustion chamber good.
i've been doing it for decades with all my vehicles. it helps clean injectors an clean valves. also add to engine oil before change. if you have ticking try it i've used it to stop it on other vehicles.
+baboonbuttz I so totally agree that ATF added B-4 an oil change WILL clean the inside of your engine!I use that idea for my lawnmower,too. If you "forget" to do your regular oil change,this will clean out most of your mistake. Life gets in the way.
Erick Vazquez it depends on the engine an if your oil level is lower on stick. if you have a ticking noise or only change oil once a year or if you've never used this before. then add 1L or qt a day before the change drive normal for the day. change oil an filter when @ normal operating temp. then once a year add 1/2L.
ddd228 if you don't circulate atf @ operating temp then there is no benafit. it won't do it's purpose to clear buildup. never add 2L @ full oil level. if owner just topped oil level i will pull oil filter dump whats in it then re install filter add 1L an run vehicle to op-temp for an hour but not idling for an hour. you want as much circulation as possible while it's hot. been doing it my way for decades an not had an issue.
l did seafoam treatment on my wife's 03 ford expedition 4.6 I used the 16oz in the brake buster my wife and I took a trip to north Texas from San Antonio i stopped to put gas before I did I pored 32oz of atf in the tank the speed limit was 85 I drove 95 it got much better gas mileage and better power still running like camp
Mike Lascari That little bit of atf want hurt or help the engine. If you want to clean your fuel system. Change the filter. If he put the whole quart in there. He will lose hp and mpg because he has diluted to gasoline.
This shit destroyed my o2 sensor, made the car burn a lot more gas. When oil burns it smokes an coats the injector - combustion chamber and oxygen sensors.
it works for diesels. the detergents in the ATF clean the injectors. we use if all the time in big trucks. much cheaper than "injector cleaner". wouldn't recommend for gas engines, though. get some seafoam, or marvel mystery oil for gas engines
+yourtube540 Yes it does. You can wash your greasy hands with AYF and they will come clean. Not so sure about adding it to gasoline. I would prefer 2 stroke oil or Marvel.
ATF has so much more solvency than cranckcase lube, that it doesn't need any detergents. AFT as shown has about 25% average of ot volume of naphtenic mineral base as opposed to pure parafinic mineral base in cranckcase oil. By the way parafinic base has little solvency power, than it needs detergents in there. Same occurs with Esters, it also has a very powerfull solvency power that came from its polarity, hence, needing much less detergents that groups I, iI, III and IV bases oils. Group I & II are mineral, groups III and IV are synthetics (Polyalphaolefins) group V are esters and all the rest. So, next time you jump to expel "info", do it in a complete manner, please, or people WILL get confuse. Let's spread good info.
It works well, no problems... I have a few vehicles and one is almost 30 years old and running great. ATF mixes almost instantly with gas For diesel you can add more ATF ,,, 1L per tank no problems... It cleans and lubes the fuel system and makes it run better
I once won a bet that I could run my car on water. This was 30 years ago. My car had a gas tank installed vertically, behind the right rear fender. The gas intake tube was mounted on a float so it would always get the gas from the top of the tank. The car was designed this way at the factory to run better if gasoline was contaminated. Not everyone knew this. I told some guys I ran my car on water. Obviously, they did not believe me. I told them to bring a gallon of water and I would put it in my gas tank and drive the car around the block. So we made bet and I won. LOL. We drove the car for several miles with no issues. I got my money from them, drove the car back to my garage, opened the drain plug and drained the water from the gas tank. For those who did not catch why it worked. I had at least 5 gallons of gasoline in the tank when we put the water in. Water is heavier than gasoline and it immediately settled on the bottom of the tank. Since the tank was installed in the vertical position and the gas intake tube was mounted on a floating arm, it sucked gasoline from the top of the tank and the engine ran just fine.
Wow dude you are really behind the times we was doing that back when I was about 15 years old about 1982 yes we did with robbie alcohol into the gas tank it's only clean the internal combustion parts and also to get 10 gallon can of gas and a mothball and drop it in and let it sit for about a week and it boosted the octane
Even in "good old fermany" this ATF-additive-tactic is still used nowadays (by some oldschool mechanics) to clean engines or even to gain more cylinder pressure if used as additive in the motor oil (for a v e r y s h o r t period !) So: Why YES, pretty good trick/advice 😉
@@donnieshepperson126 I don’t know about mpg but I’m sure it probably didn’t hurt it, I do know it keep everything as clean as a whistle it does what seafoam is supposed to do
a new beginner trying to learn. but how often would you use it in your tank for I was told to try it and it works great but I never asked how often to do it
ROBERT ADAMS how much you putting in your gas? I just put a half quart to a half tank of gas on a Tahoe and after a day or two I noticed that it idled smooth and had petty acceleration off the lights I go through everyday.
Dont be putting ATF in the gas tank to begin with. Period. Its not like using a fuel additive. This is a old school thing. You want added lubricity, or "clean" your fuel system, use a FUEL additive meant for you fuel system. Dont use something thats not meant for your fuel system.
if there was ~30liters sitting in a tank, that would have made 1:600 mixture with that half of glass you added. I was experiencing with ATF but much more, got nothing but little smoke and smell. But adding 2T mineral 1:100 did work, engine idles smoother, no smoke. Even lawn mower gets more power.
Your fuel system doesn’t need lubrication. You can’t show me in your owners manual where it say lubricate fuel system. You are not hurting anything either because of the small amount.
Adding ATF (which uses the same base as motor oil) to your gas does increase the BTU content of the fuel, and so *theoretically* could produce more power. However, 4 cycle engines just aren't designed to run on a gas-oil mix. All you're doing is decreasing the octane of the gas, and creating more soot throughout your engine and exhaust system due to the heavy hydrocarbons that it isn't able to completely burn.
Louis Laszlo you mean increasing. higher octane doesn't mean more explosive or flammable its to do with knock resistance or " pre ignition " by adding oil makes it more knock resistant so actually a higher octane rating. also if it doesn't burn properly it will not create carbon as that only happens after its burnt. you in reality end up with unburnt oil full of detergents encompassing all you valves not carbon
@@brotang2953 and what happens to all that oil in your catalytic converter? Adding oil to your gas might have helped your valves back in the 1950’s, but no way should you do that to a modern car.
CA P.O.W you did this recently? I had a injector making noise and we put atf in the gas because my uncle said it would work and damn it, it did. The clicking sound it was making is gone.
I put a whole bottle in my 2000 Suzuki Grand Vitara...I actually got increase gas millage . i did clean the throttle as well with throttle body cleaner
Why not John ? It may be that the greatest effect comes if ATF used to de-carb some sticky piston rings -> WAY better/higher compression ! But for this tactic one needs much patience - a VERY rare virtue/quality these days . . . .
ATF.is not designed to burn. I add a half a cup of 2 stroke oil to my cars because modern diesel fuel apparently has no lubrication properties ,this keeps the fuel pump running sweetly, and works as an upper cylinder lubricant Used it for several years now....no issues yet.
Stan Rylance marine outboard two cycle TCW3 oil is best. Check out LS1 Testing oil on Google.com. A guy named Sarge and his air craft engineer friends did lots of testing. In gasoline it's 1 oz oil per 5 gallons gas. You can look up diesel also
Maybe my friend, but it is - 4 sure - desigend to c l e a n - or at least to keep the whole automatic transmission "surgeon clinically" clean !! Some folks claim it helped a lot . . .
so what are you scared of that little bit of stuff you poored in the tank is nothing aint going to do anything wasting your time. put the whole bottle in and then you can say you did something
nazvl patel Not true Only thing that changed is fuel injection vs carburetors... Internal combustion engines all use the same principals... The ATF is used as a cleaner, to remove varnish and buildup. It will NOT hurt the motor
Some people are funny Without understanding the science, they comment, or watch videos like this. Yet, they get their radiator flushed, transmission flushed, etc. it's called drain and fill, and that is all you need. Also, people never drain and fill their brake fluid, but instead will leave it in there forever. When you get new pads, have the mechanic bleed out the old fluid, and replace with new. You can verify they did this because the bleeder bolt on each caliper should be wet around or inside the hole with fluid. Also need master cylinder after 6 years.
I put a little in my newer car now and then on a full tank. I use half a bottle in my diesel every other full tank, really only recommend for a diesel. My diesel is straight pipe but it really isn't good for the catalyst converter(s) I heard.
you know if you use the old school non-synthetic Burns better and probably cleans better I use it to clean my injectors on my 7.3 diesel just poured in the top of the filter and my truck will run for 2 minutes on that by itself
They both work really good but you have to use them more often than transmission fluid. Transmission fluid is more aggressive so its better to stick with mmo or lucas. Seafoam works great to
Filiberto Barrera Marvel Mystery Oil in the gas is good. I personally add Marine outboard motor oil with a TCW3 rate at 1oz per 5 gallons of gas. Works to clean and lube the system better and cheaper. You can Google. Been Testing Oil and read the testing. Sarge and team have done the homework for us.
thomsonluvsu I passed every time. Everything works better with lube. I noticed the difference on the plugs, and that was enough to try it. It makes up for using cheap gas.
Fill my push mower up put two capfuls of transmission fluid in it doesn't bog nearly as bad when mowing High Grass. I haven't put a compression tester to it yet but by pulling yet I definitely noticed it has a lot more compression. My dad taught me this old trick. And you think that it would smoke out the tailpipe but it actually Burns pretty clean.
I've done this when an internal fuel pump was on it's way out. It works very well. I bought an explorer once advertised with a bad fuel pump, gave them cash, then I kicked the gas tank a couple times, and drove it home. I waved as I drove past them. Once in a while it would stick, so a shot of two cycle oil worked great. It eventually shit on me. If your fuel pump seems dead, this will get you home, usually.
Most people use cheaper gas, cheaper gas burns easier, causing excessive build up and possibly pre-detonation. It lubricates the fuel pump and everything else in the fuel system. I ran cheap gas for thousand of miles, then checked spark plugs, they had a lot of build up. I did the same using atf, and the spark plugs almost looked brand new. Also if you understand how engines work, upper engine lubrication helps with compression causing better fuel economy. Do a compression test with no oil, then do it with a small amount of oil, the compression will usually increase. If compression increases, fuel economy will increase.
That little bit wont do nothing to help or hurt your engine. I just uploaded a video where I put a large 32 ounce bottle of brake fluid in my 2001 Deville. The tank was 80% full and i didn’t get a cel.
atf is a solvent oil so it will clean and lube your fuel system. the extra heat it makes when it burns will clean the motors upper valves and cylinders. removing carbon deposits. if your upper is lubed like the lower end is it will work easier and make more power and lest friction or resistance. ===better gas mileage

You can verify they did this because the bleeder bolt on each caliper should be wet around or inside the hole with fluid. Also need master cylinder after 6 years.
I put a little in my newer car now and then on a full tank. I use half a bottle in my diesel every other full tank, really only recommend for a diesel. My diesel is straight pipe but it really isn't good for the catalyst converter(s) I heard.
you know if you use the old school non-synthetic Burns better and probably cleans better I use it to clean my injectors on my 7.3 diesel just poured in the top of the filter and my truck will run for 2 minutes on that by itself
adam waugh check out using Marine outboard TCW3 oil in gasoline and diesel fuel. Google it works great.
What do you think about Marvel Mystery oil or Lucas products? Snake oil or do they really work?
They both work really good but you have to use them more often than transmission fluid. Transmission fluid is more aggressive so its better to stick with mmo or lucas. Seafoam works great to
You using top shelf bro
Why? Lol
Because you'll watch it. LMFAO!!!

Injector Cleaner Bro
Biodiesel from Castor oil smells so good!
You could add a lot more..
What happens when you put in suger, salt and kerosene, in a gas tank
Try it. Tell me what happens.
I've seen people that do yard service,and boat owners, they use transmission oil in any 2 cycle oil engines as a fuel additive.
Filiberto Barrera Marvel Mystery Oil in the gas is good. I personally add Marine outboard motor oil with a TCW3 rate at 1oz per 5 gallons of gas. Works to clean and lube the system better and cheaper. You can Google. Been Testing Oil and read the testing. Sarge and team have done the homework for us.
+Arthur Smith thanks for the info.Sure will try on my next fuel fill up.I drive older used cars that need a little extra loving.
I use the entire quart
I know you live in CA as do I. No issues with smog?
smog testing I mean.
thomsonluvsu I passed every time. Everything works better with lube. I noticed the difference on the plugs, and that was enough to try it. It makes up for using cheap gas.
I do it too
Fill my push mower up put two capfuls of transmission fluid in it doesn't bog nearly as bad when mowing High Grass. I haven't put a compression tester to it yet but by pulling yet I definitely noticed it has a lot more compression. My dad taught me this old trick. And you think that it would smoke out the tailpipe but it actually Burns pretty clean.
I'd stick with fuel injector cleaner.
Go ahead but you’re paying exponentially more $$$$$
wtf? dude, just run 2 stroke oil once in it while
I've done this when an internal fuel pump was on it's way out. It works very well. I bought an explorer once advertised with a bad fuel pump, gave them cash, then I kicked the gas tank a couple times, and drove it home. I waved as I drove past them. Once in a while it would stick, so a shot of two cycle oil worked great. It eventually shit on me. If your fuel pump seems dead, this will get you home, usually.
What does it do?
Most people use cheaper gas, cheaper gas burns easier, causing excessive build up and possibly pre-detonation. It lubricates the fuel pump and everything else in the fuel system. I ran cheap gas for thousand of miles, then checked spark plugs, they had a lot of build up. I did the same using atf, and the spark plugs almost looked brand new. Also if you understand how engines work, upper engine lubrication helps with compression causing better fuel economy. Do a compression test with no oil, then do it with a small amount of oil, the compression will usually increase. If compression increases, fuel economy will increase.

A friend of mine put a quart ATF every time he full his tank and he said it make the car runs more miles in a fuel tank. I dont beleve it works.
OLD-SCHOOL ATF,IN FUEL TANK JUST A,LITTLE, KILLS ETHANOL AND CLEANING INJECTORS, MORE 19MPG, DOING IT FOR 24YRS 87BUICK GN,2000,LEXUS ES,300,GOOD DEAL
That little bit wont do nothing to help or hurt your engine. I just uploaded a video where I put a large 32 ounce bottle of brake fluid in my 2001 Deville. The tank was 80% full and i didn’t get a cel.
