Two old-time diesel mechanics told me that a good and inexpensive way to keep injectors clean is to place a small amount of ATF onto the oil filter when changing filters. On first start-up there may be a slight hestitation and a little puff of white smoke, but both will go away quickly. Does anyone know if this is a safe and proper means to clean injectors?

Do you mean FUEL filter? I am confused as to how ATF on the OIL filter will clean FUEL injectors? Thanks for clearing this up for me. Dale

Well I have to tell you I've been doing this for years on my 2 VW diesels. My 91 Jetta has 303,000 miles on it and it doesn't complain one little bit. Neither does my 84 Rabbit. Also there are some that say a Qt. every 3 tank fulls keep things cleaner. It works on the VW's. On my Barth I generally run a lot of Bio-diesel which will clean out everything; fuel tank, filters, and injector pump. Also the rig runs quieter and will live longer. BUT! it eats rubber fuel lines.

Whoops! Yes, the fuel fllter, not the oil filter. Thanks for the catch, Dale.

O.K.:All you DIESEL burning, cigars chewing,Diesel Pusher Peoples like me,If you don't use Diesel Supplement year around like me.It that time of the year you should.I use Power Service {Diesel Fuel Supplement}"cetaneboost,Prevents gelling,Cleans Injectors,Lubricates Pumps & Injectors." It also reduces emissions & Black exhaust smoke.
