A diesel engine will burn ATF. ATF is a oil, diesel is a oil, so it will burn. :)

Yeah, it's not much different than bio-diesel or Veggie oil. It all burns. Just don't run it all the time, as I heard that it will foul the catalyst.
Heck,  I'm soon to be getting a generator setup for my home that will burn diesel, Veggie oil, Bio-diesel, Waste motor oil, fuel oil, and in a pinch, kerosene. I live off grid.
Example:

Albeit, a bit  more primitive than a TDI. :wink:

That looks like a one lung Lister.  

You should talk to hill'folker.  He is the generator man.

You're close, it is a 6hp, Listeroid, which is a copy of a Lister. They are made by quite a few companies out of India.

No kidding! Try to tell my dad that though. (I'm 17) You would be able to build one hell of a system for that money.
