Ultra low sulphur diesel has been around since 2010. I am still waiting for this rash of injection pump failures that people said was coming.
There are tens if not hundreds of millions of old diesel engines working their guts out day in and day out with no additives, and no problems that cannot be attributed to normal wear and tear, or abuse. You know most people aren't bothering with additives.
If the lubricity in ULSD was such the insurmountable problem that so many make it out to be, forums like this would have been FLOODED with questions and complaints about engine failures about 7-1/2 years ago. There would be class action lawsuits. It would be big news.
The truth is the EPA mandated that along with the ULSD process, that the oil companies replace any lost lubricity in the fuel they sell with additives. They have every reason to comply (i.e. class action lawsuits from the owners of millions of ruined engines otherwise), and no reason not to comply.
If putting random concoctions into your fuel makes you sleep better at night, by all means go for it. Diesel is oil, and pouring a cup of 2-cycle, Marvel Mystery, or Alberto VO5 for all I care, in with 34 gallons of diesel isn't going to hurt a thing. If you think it makes the engine run better, more power to ya. There are some additives I've seen make immediate differences, but 2-cycle oil isn't one of them.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
