Biodiesel is also used as a lubricity agent/enhancer in many applications. It is especially useful in marine applications where water contamination with petroleum lubricity agents can create problems. With future low-sulfur fuel regulations, biodiesel can be used as an additive to maintain lubricity. An addition of 1-2% biodiesel can increase diesel lubricity by 65%.
