whats the deal w/ ATF in fuel filters?

i've been reading all these old posts and filling your spin-on with ATF seems completely acceptable, even recommended. this sounds like a completely ludacris thing to do but i assume it isn't, seeing as a few of you seemingly trustworthy and knowledgable guys condone it. my question is why should i do this rather than filling it with diesel? while i'm at it, another question:
what the heck does the ALDA looking thing on my IP do on a non-turbo 240?
and another:
why can't i get that last little air bubble out of my primary? (clear) fuel filter?

ATF also stinks less than diesel if you get it on your hands. But the best stuff to fill it with would be diesel purge.
