	*Fuel Lubricity Additives (especially with more novel CI fuels such as [[DME]] )		*Supposedly [[Hydrodesulfurization]] for making [[Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel]] (which as of this edit is now ALL DIESEL including [[Off-Road Diesel]] ) removes various compounds that would otherwise aid in lubricity, conductivity (and thus [[ESD]] ignition risk)
	*~~Gell~~ Point Depressors		*Thus additives are needed
			*Mainly:
			**Fuel Lubricity Additives (especially with more novel CI fuels such as [[DME]] )
			***2% Blending of a [[Fatty Acid Methyl Ester]] (aka [[Transesterification Biodiesel]] [[Biodiesel]] ) can get most fuels up to spec supposedly
			****Almost akin to how Ethanol is now the standard anti-knock additive post TEL being phased out, thus all non-premium/specialized gas having 10% [[Ethanol]] (ie [[E-10 Fuel]] )
			***Other additives do exist though, hunting for [[SDS]] ‘s currently as most pages ramble on without giving away the krabby patty secret formula so to speak
			**
			*[[Gel Point]] Depressors are also added (Especially in the Winter Months, this also relates to [[Diesel Grade Numbers]] if i remember correctly (citation needed))
			*Depending on the Feedstocks/Refineries used Additives may be needed to raise the [[Cetane Rating]] of the fuel to the required standards

	*		*These are mostly irrelevant in modern formulations, and also ‘’’debated’’’ (and as per modern engines that have never seen a drop of leaded fuel yet work fine), the Lead in Tetraethyl Lead is Liberated during combustion
			**This gradually builds up not just in the local area, but also on certain parts of the engine, most noticeably on the Spark Plug, the Exhaust Valve, and most importantly the Valve Seat
			*For things like the spark plug it could lead to wear or short circuiting
			*For the valve seat however it was a self healing soft layer of sorts
			*In order to reduce these deposits though, various additives can be used
