Reactivity as a possible problem has been mentioned several times here, with the source being mentioned as after market lubricity additives being added by owners to bring US diesel up to the 460 scar standard.
These products include, but are not limited to, brands such as the Ford PM-22-A, Stanadyne, Schaeffer Diesel Treat 2000, and Power Service Diesel Kleen + Cetane Boost.
What if the reactivity problem, if it so exists, is caused by the lubricity additives added at the refinery or terminal to bring US diesel to its 520 scar standard??????
I find I am not comforted by the idea of lubricity additives being added at the terminal level. I suppose there is no way to get around this, as it appears to be business as normal. But I do suspect the guess work and amount of additive to add at the terminal level is much less exact than compared to refinery level.
