Ram Trucks manufacturer position
Ram Trucks are sold new in New Zealand through the official Ram NZ distributor, including petrol and diesel pickups and commercial variants. Cummins and other common-rail diesels are highly sensitive to petrol contamination. Follow Stellantis workshop information; AdBlue is separate from diesel fuel.
Fuel system notes
- Ram HD Cummins diesels are a primary petrol-in-diesel exposure at NZ service stations.
- Confirm petrol vs diesel badge before drain — ProMaster and pickup ranges differ.
- AdBlue filler is separate; do not drain AdBlue when correcting diesel misfuel unless cross-contamination occurred.

Frequently asked questions
Are Ram trucks common in New Zealand?
Yes — Ram is distributed new in NZ. Grey-import North American Rams also appear; use the correct workshop manual for the build market.
Does Ram warranty cover misfuel in New Zealand?
Manufacturer warranty terms typically exclude damage from incorrect or contaminated fuel. Keep invoices from an authorised repairer or NZIFDA-certified operator; consumer disputes may go to the Motor Vehicle Disputes Tribunal or Disputes Tribunal under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and Fair Trading Act 1986.
