[oldblue05]

Will it work? Got a few quarts that are old just wanted to ask the pros b4 dumping in tank.

Thanks in advance.

worked great in my truck, its basically hydraulic fluid and i would burn hydraulic fluid all the time if i could, it flows better than WMO.

Sure... It will burn great and you will be lubing the fuel system.. That can't hurt anything.

whats the safest ratio to use as far as diesel to power steering fluid?

I use a pint in each tank, sometimes a quart if I'm filling up at an off-brand station. Been doing this since 2003. Works good, no smoke, and it's cheaper than atf. Just don't use any that has stop leak added.

Safe ratio? well some of us run up to 80% used motor oil... so if you've got a few quarts you can drag it out of use it all at once in a full tank...

Power steering fluid for our trucks is ATF.

Pretty much. If you run WMO then this stuff is no different. ATF and the like does tend to burn a little hotter, so watch your pyro.
