South African motorists are facing a growing and insidious threat at the pumps: "dodgy diesel." An alarming trend of paraffin being illicitly mixed with diesel is on the rise, creeping into more petrol 
forecourts across the country. 

This dangerous concoction, driven by a burgeoning illegal fuel trade, poses a severe risk to vehicle engines and overall performance, often leading to costly damage and even total write-offs.

As reported previously in TopAuto and MyBroandband, the illicit diesel trade is expanding at an alarming rate. Criminals are mixing stolen diesel with paraffin, a significantly cheaper substance, and 
then selling this adulterated product as compliant fuel. The consequences for unsuspecting drivers are dire. 

"The purchase of diesel adulterated with paraffin can have serious consequences for vehicles by causing engine damage and, in extreme cases, the write-off of the vehicle," warns Avhapfani 
Tshifularo, Chief Executive of the Fuels Industry Association of South Africa. The lower lubricity and different burning properties of paraffin can wreak havoc on delicate engine components, 
leading to premature wear, reduced efficiency, and ultimately, catastrophic failure.

In the face of this escalating concern, protecting your engine has become paramount. With rising instances of substandard diesel, your vehicle needs more than just fuel; it needs robust 
protection against the hidden dangers lurking in your tank.

This is where Motul All in One Diesel Additive steps in as a crucial line of defence. Engineered to combat the detrimental effects of dirty or poor-quality fuel, Motul All in One is a high-performance 
diesel additive designed to safeguard your engine and restore its optimal performance.

• Boosts Cetane Number: Improves combustion quality, cold starts, and drivability even with compromised fuel. The additive promotes more complete and efficient fuel burning, leading to better 
  fuel economy and reduced emissions.
• Restores Power: By optimising fuel delivery and combustion, the additive helps to restore lost engine power and responsiveness.
• Restores Critical Lubricity: By replacing the lubricating properties stripped away by paraffin to protect high-pressure pumps and injectors.
• Protects Against Wear: Its protective agents reduce friction and wear on critical engine components, extending their lifespan and preventing costly repairs.
• Protects DPF and Emissions Systems: Reduces soot buildup and helps prevent DPF clogging caused by poor-quality combustion.
