ATF is not a good alternative as it has detergents added which will introduce abrasives to the fuel system. The DSE additive and process is as Phil has said, a mixture of vegetable, unleaded gasoline, and their 'additive'. IMO, snake oil.

It is FAR better to convert the triglycerides to a methyl ester, as the viscosity is better and you are not introducing octane and gasoline additives to your diesel.
