    Diesel atoms are more "compacted" with more hydrocarbons than gasoline which is why it feels oilier and thicker. It stores more energy but burns slower. Think of it like firewood. Dry birch will light quick and burn hot, but oak will burn pretty hot and slow because it's a denser wood.

      Those longer molecules lend toward being more lubricious. The old sulfur additives and now biodiesel are extra lubricious to preserve the high pressure fuel components that depend on the lubricity in the fuel in order to function correctly. basically, diesel is just really thin oil. hence it being very close to kerosene aka fuel oil.

    Oil behaves like a cushion between the bearing surfaces to reduce friction which otherwise wears on the surfaces. Diesel fuel is a very thin oil and does not act like this as much as a thicker oil. Thus, friction is greater with diesel fuel. However, used as a temporary measure, it works as a great flush to clean the engine sludge out. I have used diesel fuel as a flush many times through the years. Just fil up to the dip stick line and let the hot engine idle for about 10 to 15 minutes and then drain. Refill again with your normal oil.

  • @ericrhinehart6055

    On the flip side, I once put one of those oil flush bottles in a VW Rabbit diesel. As soon as it started it went full throttle ! The vapors were entering through the crankcase vent and it revved like crazy> Luckily I was able to stuff a rag in the intake and shut it down after maybe five to ten seconds. Drove it for many thousands of miles after that overspeed!

      (Edit: the following comment is inaccurate. See my later comment.)
      It would last quite a while. Viscosity is the most important factor when choosing a lubricant for an application. The viscosities between atf and motor oil are similar, but transmission fluid dosen't have the detergents, dispersents, and base additives of engine oil. So the transmission fluid will break down faster in an engine, meaning you will see more varnish, deposits, and erosion of the soft metals due to the high acid content. These things would take thousands of miles to make themselves apparent.

    Not sure about over there, but here in the UK its a fairly common cheap way if you have a particularly dirty engine, not really well looked after with regards to oil changes, very black oil etc, a cheap and easy engine flush is to empty the oil, fill it with diesel start and let it idle for 5 minutes then drain and refil with correct oil. People do it all the time here with no negative effects and leaves the engine pretty clean. Did it on my car when I had it 10 months ago, now done 7k miles so i'm due to change it and its still pretty clean on the dipstick

I noticed it had a good bit of sludge build up on top of the heads, so, I drained out about 1 quart of oil and added about 2 quarts of purple power degreaser, let the engine idle for about 15 minutes. Then turned it off, let it set about 1 hour, then let it idle about 15 more minutes. Drained out all the gunk, new oil n filter, no more lifter tap, and the car ran great for years.

    3 reasons why Diesel engines last longer,
    1st engines built stronger because of compression ratio requirements.
    2nd piston speed is much less
    3rd fuel is a lubricant and pistons are lubricated from both sides.
    I once had a 61 dodge Lancer with slant 6 and didn't have enough money to buy gas and oil so I made the decision to just buy gas cause why buy oil if you have no gas. LOL, this is back when gas was 33 cents a gallon 🤣. There was no oil on the dipstick AND oil light was constantly on. Drove that car for over a week and when I had money I filled with oil and sold car. Bought another car that didn't last as long as that slant 6. I saw new owner a couple of years later and he still had car and said it's running great. I believe only thing that kept it running when I had it is those 6's were solid liftered. Those engines were awesome 😁
