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. Adding some lube to my fuel in an older car, truck or tractor is cheap insurance. Also note that heating oil in the US now has virtually NO lube. Farm fuel - where I live - is heating oil with lube additive put in. So if you cheat and run an engine on heating oil - now lube additive is a must.
