⚠️ Jeep Wrangler — Moderate misfuel risk
Jeep diesels at NZ forecourts carry typical SUV misfuel risk; 4xe still has a petrol tank.
If the engine was not started
Do not crank; drain and replace filter.
If the engine was started
Full drain, filters, inspect HP pump on diesel; check 4xe fuel system if petrol contaminated.
⚠️ Jeep position — Wrangler
Mopar documents pump access or tank lowering; misfuel is warranty exclusion.
