With the emission norms getting stringent all over the world, the lubricity issue has become a major challenge for all concern. These norms specify the acceptable levels of parts per million of Sulphur as well as aromatic contents. In order to benefit the environment from getting polluted and with the global warming becoming a major issue, a significant reduction of PPM of Sulphur and aromatic contents has been the need of the hour. But when these stringent measures are complied with, yet another challenge surfaces the diesel users. The problem of diesel fuel lubricity arises with the lowering of these contents in the fuel and this loss of diesel lubricity results in wear and tear of fuel system component. The easiest way for the refinery companies to decrease the content of Sulphur and aromatic contents is by the way of hydro treating, in this process the Sulphur is removed by treating it with hydrogen. But this process results in loss of lubricity. The major impact of loss of diesel fuel lubricity is that it speeds up the process of fuel system component wear.

In this alarming scenario, many problems have been witnessed, such as, under-run, stalling problems which require replacement of fuel pumps due to their failure. In order to overcome these problems fuel additives are being recommended. But identification of potential problems can be done only through lubricity test.
