A lubricity additive for fuels with sulphur content of not more than 0.05
wt % is described herein. The lubricity additive comprises a polyol ester
or a mixture of polyol esters derived from C.sub.8-C.sub.18 saturated
and/or unsaturated fatty acids. The polyol esters is produced by: i)
esterification of a C.sub.8-C.sub.18 saturated or unsaturated fatty
acids, or a mixture thereof, with a polyhydric alcohol; ii)
transesterification of an oil or a mixture of oils, with fatty acid
composition comprising C.sub.8-C.sub.18 saturated and/or unsaturated
fatty acids, with a polyhydric alcohol. The preferred fatty acids are
unsaturated C.sub.18 fatty acids, more particularly, oleic acid whereas
the preferred polyhydric alcohol is neopolyol, more particularly,
trimethylol propane and its isomers. A fuel composition comprising a
major amount of fuel with sulphur content of not more than 0.05 wt % and
a minor amount of the lubricity additive is also described herein. The
amount of the lubricity additive is not more than 0.1 wt %.
