I always considered it quite strange when older folks quoted sulfur as a lube for the injection pump, complaining about low-sulfur Diesel lack of lubricity. Well, it's actually more related to the Diesel fuel getting thinner than it used to be, for example biodiesel is sulfur-free and in some lower blends such as B2 and B5 it's usually quoted as a "lube additive".
