South Africa Road Alert: Surge in ‘Dirty Diesel’ Cases Raises Risks for Self-Drive Tourists
Original source: Nomad Lawyer

South African authorities warned about a rise in adulterated diesel sales at petrol stations. The contaminated fuel, mixed with paraffin or solvents, can cause severe engine damage, especially on remote routes like the Garden Route and Panorama Route. Tourists are advised to refuel only at major branded stations and keep receipts.
