Just bought a Gallon of Optilube winter from their website.

#1 To prevent gelling up here when we get those 40 below days.
#2 For lubricity improvement
It was $69.62 delivered for 1 gallon.
1 gallon treats 512...
Why not just use an actual lubricity additive like Optilube that is proven (even a thread on this site someplace) to have real benefits?
Seems random to just use ATF.
I know an oldtimer mechanic that used it to prime new fuel filters for diesels to prevent an airlock and supposedly clean things...
#1 and #2 Diesel contain 15ppm of Sulphur.
There is absolutely no difference in Sulphur content between them.
The only difference is the paraffin content.
I just bought and had delivered 2,000 gallons of diesel for our winter operations here.
504 gallons of it was #1
1,496 gallons of it was #2...
Why would you want to add ATF to your diesel fuel?
It works well as a clean way to fill a fresh fuel filter (provided the atf containers are new and unopened).
Just curious why you want to add ATF specifically or is it just to burn it up?
