Oil & Fuel Diesel additives

   / Diesel additives #21  
actually the sulfur is a lube.

"Sulfur is not a lubricant in of itself, but it can combine with the nickel content in many metal alloys to form a low melting point eutectic alloy that can increase lubricity."

and

"The processing required to reduce sulfur to 15 ppm also removes naturally-occurring lubricity agents in diesel fuel."

Very interesting read. Also, several posts quoted the above in various degrees but forgot to mention one of the source.
