By the way - this has nothing to do with "witchcraft and sorcery" as Mr. Buick/Deere states. It's about rotary mechanical distributor fuel-injection pumps that that must have lube in the fuel. In-line pumps are almost immune from the problem, as are latter common-rail diesel systems.
The original diesel fuel had natural lube and that's what the rotary pumps are made to run in. If they get less - they wear out faster. Cooking diesel fuel to remove sulfur removes the lube. So - fuel sellers are supposed to put lube additives back in before it comes out the pump. Do you trust them all to do it correctly? I don't.
