Thanks for the feedback John. Since my last post I have talked to a number of OLDER detroit mechanics which mentioned they would put ATF (automatic transmission fluid) in the diesel as a lubricant. ratio is one quart per 100 gallons. They say it not only lubricates the fuel pump but also cleans the injectors and slightly increases performance.

Have you heard of this?

A side note about the ULSD cleaning the tank and lines. I have experienced the junk that gets cleaned from the ULSD. i changed my filters and the fuel inside them was black with junk. important to drain the stuff from the seperators.
