A while ago I came across this lubricity study, which I guess has become rather famous in these circles:
Interesting that the winner by a considerable margin is soy biodiesel. The sole diesel engine I use currently is an IDI, so lubricity additives are important to prevent injection pump wear. I live in the Gulf Coast, where biodiesel is not readily available.
Is there any reason not to simply go to the grocery store, grab a gallon of soybean or canola oil off the shelf, and dump that into the tank when I fill up with ULSD? (The lubricity study tested a ratio of 50:1 ULSD to biodiesel.)
