Someone here posted something that said you shouldn't dump ATF into your new fuel filter. Basically it said that it didn't do anything but soot your prechamber.

Well, on my 85 300SD I changed the filter this weekend. I poured ATF into my new filter and put it on. After idling for a few minutes the slight lope that my car has had since I bought it went away. It idles perfectly smooth now. I think that the ATF helped clean out some injector crud just like the old diesel myth suggests.
