The anti-static additive sulfur contribution to ULSD will be resolved and tracked through VAR. All other non-complying additives will require analysis. We have been asked by some customers to acquire the anti-stat additive and blend it into packages

Multi-functional additive packages that contain a >15 ppm anti-static additive and/or red dye may use the VAR method. However, the other components in the additive package must be <15 ppm. If any component of a multi-functional additive package other than red dye or an anti-stat is >15 ppm, then the VAR method may not be used (§ 80.614). However, if the entire package is under 15 ppm, then the VAR method is not required.
