diesel substitute

question is I was told aviation fuel and transmission fluid can be used as a diesel substitue, True or not and does it cause any damage to diesel engines if mixed correctly?

BAD IDEA IF YOU CONTINUE YOU WE'LL HAVE TO REPLACE THE INJECTORS @ about 500 a piece , and it will clog your filters leading to loss of power .

I have done that for over 30 years with no problems,it adds lubrication that low sulfur diesel fuel loses.
