ATF as a fuel system purge?

While reading Elripster's post I got thinking, dangerous as that may be. I have seen how well ATF cleans carbon and various deposites on components and how well it rejuvinates seals and wondered if anyone has tried it as a diesel fuel purge. I wonder if running it in the system a minute or so and letting it sit there for a few hours then running it all out would have a good cleaning effect. Has anyone tried this or heard of it being done? I would rather not try this if it has been done to an ill end. Any opinions or information would be appreciated.
