SSPDaily has prepared three life hacks for motorists. Learn how to easily and effectively check the quality of diesel fuel in your car using these methods.
Visual quality assessment
A simple visual check can confirm the quality of diesel fuel. High-quality diesel fuel is usually clear with a slight yellowish tint. In contrast, low-quality diesel fuel may be cloudy, contain water, or have a darker tint.
Check the filters
Check the fuel filters. If they are clogged or dirty, this may indicate impurities in the fuel, which is a sign of poor-quality diesel.
Fuel density
High-quality diesel fuel usually has a certain density. In some cases, a hydrometer can be used. High or low density can be a sign of impurities.
