The Dirty Truth: How Contaminated Diesel is Damaging Your Engine

As a vehicle owner in South Africa, you may be unaware of the hidden danger lurking in the fuel you put in your tank. A staggering 70 out of 1000 filling stations recently investigated by the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE) were found to be diluting diesel with paraffin. This practice, while increasing profits for filling stations, poses a significant risk to your engine's health.

 

The Damage

Contaminated diesel can cause catastrophic failure in your car's engine due to the loss of lubricity. The presence of paraffin reduces viscosity, cetane number, and lubrication qualities, leading to:

- Eroded and damaged injectors

- Poor spray patterns

- Loss of power

- Sooting and increased fuel consumption

- Piston scoring and wear

- Big end bearing wear
