Low sulfur fuel
If you check this page from Chevron about fuel leaks with ULSD:
http://www.chevron.com/products/prodserv...hevro\
n_tb_2005Aug.pdf
(if it wraps, use http://tinyurl.com/y6hszq )

You will see that they say the problem is aromatics, and not lubricity. They
say:
"Fuel additives do not appear to be a
solution, since they do not change the
aromatics content of the fuel."

They consider only replacement of affected seals as the solution.
