Can I burn ATF as well as SVO in 74 240D?

My 1974 240D loves SVO and I've heard tales of people filtering and burning used automatic transmission fluid. Does anybody know anything about this? Thanks.

Yes I burn used motor oils and atf.I filter after mixing with 33% kerosense(cheaper).
I filter down to 2 microns,and run my veg heaters,in loop and seperate tank.No power loss maybe 20% loss of mpg.However 25% wmo or watf to diesel,higher mileage 37mpg for my big w126.WVO is gone in this area,but I do miss the smell of food.
DO NOT MIX GASOLINE WITH WMO,its ok for some with wvo,but I never liked it.
