Diesel as UCL

Just use MMO and be safe. I just think there were a lot of practices in older cars/trucks that would not work today. I think if it were a good option we would hear more about it. Plus you could put a qt. of MMO in your gas tank for the cost of 1 gal of diesel. So It is much more cost effective to use MMO anyway.
Diesel isn't even a good UCL when run 100% in a diesel engine. It would do you no good.
If you want an UCL, stick with 2-stroke, Marvel, Neutra 131 or 131c, Lubrigas, Moreys, Klotz, FP60, Tru-Blu, or Lucas in your fuel.
Biodiesel, if available near you, is an option. B100 will lube and clean.
Nothing to worry about with diesel and cats or o2.

Assuming you're talking about ULSD, of course
That being said, I agree with your post.

As dry is ULSD is today it would be of little use of any lubricity,diesel owners add additives to increase lubricity in diesel fuel as it is.
so no use something else.

this study shows what lubricity different formulas have. MMO is not all that great.

I remember that test.
Sure seems odd about the MMO.
And it was a diesel, not gas.
But that is one particular engine in one test with who knows what accuracy.

Isn't the lubricity (sulfur) in diesel getting less and less - like now less than 500ppm in California, called ultra-low sulfur. Lower emission but lower lubricity, CARB

ULSD is 15ppm or less, the previous one is LSD 500ppm or less.

Oh yeah - b i g b r a i n f a r t - We used to have our low sulfur 500ppm, then it went to 15ppm ultra-low sulfur but was labeled DS-2 on our tanks. Some of our loads tested as low as 3% at one time.

It makes the lubricity quality worst and it has caused a lot of business for the diesel pump shop. A lot of gelling in the first winter, etc. Thanks to the environmentalist???
If the gasser owner wants to add diesel as additive, it is up to them. I personally, would NOT!!!
