Yup. This turned out to be more difficult than expected. The original idea was that it would be added at the refinery. Then the pipeline companies discovered that the lubricity agent left a residue in their pipes. They refused to ship fuel doctored with it, because the residue could contaminate jet fuel that gets sent through the same pipe. That means the lubricity additive has to be added at every terminal.
