Here's another one. Cut your diesel with ATF.

Drop by a transmission shop sometime and ask if they'll give you thier old ATF. Run the ATF through a <1 micron filter a few times then dump it in your tank. I use 20% filtered, used ATF 80% Diesel in my tractor. Always have, always will.

Some diesel guys say they run 50% used ATF. Engine oil smokes a little more and deposits ash in the combustion chamber. I use up all I generate, and more.

You could be a rolling HAZMAT disposal site like me!
