How to Know If You’re Buying Adulterated Diesel in Nigeria

In Nigeria, many individuals and businesses unknowingly purchase adulterated diesel — and the damage it causes is often more expensive than the diesel itself. From damaged engines to constant generator breakdowns, the risks are real.

At Wizcoasts Oil, we believe knowledge is the first step to protection. Here’s how to spot poor-quality diesel before it ruins your equipment:

🧪 1. Check the Color

Genuine diesel has a clear, light-yellow or faint amber tone. If the product you receive is murky, dark brown, or has visible particles, that’s a red flag. Contaminants or improper blending can affect engine performance and safety.

💨 2. Unusual Smoke from Equipment

If your generator or machine suddenly starts emitting black smoke, or if you notice a smell different from your usual operations, it could be due to contaminated diesel. Don’t wait — that smoke may be burning more than just air.

🧴 3. Excessive Soot or Carbon Build-Up

Poor-quality diesel can clog injectors and lead to unburnt residues inside your engine. If you’re cleaning or servicing your generator more than usual, this could be the silent cause.

⚙️ 4. Unexpected Generator Failures

Are you experiencing random shutdowns or increased noise during operations? Water-mixed or adulterated diesel can reduce combustion efficiency and cause sudden failures — especially under heavy loads.

🛑 5. You’re Buying from Uncertified Vendors

Many roadside or informal suppliers sell questionable products at “cheaper” prices — but they rarely test their product for quality or water content. It’s always safer to buy from SGS-certified, depot-partnered suppliers like Wizcoasts Oil.

✅ How Wizcoasts Protects You:

At Wizcoasts Oil, every batch of diesel is tested using:

• Flash Point Tests
• Density Measurement
• Litmus Paste (Water Detection)
  We also transport only in calibrated tanker trucks, guaranteeing the quality at the point of delivery.

Remember: Cheap diesel becomes very expensive when your equipment breaks down.
