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.</p><p style="text-align:left;font-size:12pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align:left;font-size:12pt;">The Damage</p><p style="text-align:left;font-size:12pt;">Contaminated diesel can cause catastrophic failure in your car's engine due to the loss of lubricity.
