I have done this on both gas and diesels and it does work. Much cheaper
than snake oil. Don't do this on a car with an oxygen sensor, though. There
are detergents in ATF that disolve the varnish and olephins (sp) in the gas
tank, fuel lines and carb or fuel injectors. You will notice the difference
right away.
