Becuase a lubricity agent is added, I assume...
I don't believe any lubricity additive is necessary (even for use with
fuel lubricated distributor type pumps) IF they put back all they took
out when removing the sulfur (or they could modify the blend), but that
can't easily be done economically in many of the OLD facilities that
exist in the US. I don't think there has been a NEW refinery built in
the US in 25-30 years. The Europeans have been doing it for years. Their
facilities are far more modern than ours I'm told.
