Do you need lube with VP diesel? If so what does everyone use?

Yes you do. I use purple label stanadyne. 2oz per gal.

Agree on the need for it. Discussed with several on both the mechanical side and the common-rail side who add lube to it.

You do not need to add anything at all especially if you are running in a class where VP is the spec fuel. It is simply not necessary. Ask around in the pits at a pull and you’ll find that anyone that claims VP doesn’t have lubricity got told from either an engine builder that had bad luck one time with a pump that was probably on its way out to begin with or a pump shop that wanted an easy excuse for something failing.

Lube has never hurt anything, dry friction certainly does.

Dirty friction certainly isn't good especially when it's not pre lubricated

Send in a fuel sample. That will answer your question.
