& WARNING Risk of fire from fuel mixture
If you mix diesel fuel with petrol, the flash
point of the fuel mixture is lower than that of
pure diesel fuel.
Never refuel using petrol in diesel
#
engines.
Never mix petrol with diesel fuel.
#
* NOTE Damage due to incorrect fuel
Even small amounts of the wrong fuel could
result in damage to the fuel system, the
engine and the emission control system.
Only refuel using sulphur-free diesel fuel
#
that conforms to European standard
EN 590, or an equivalent specification.
In countries without sulphur-free diesel
fuel, refuel using only low-sulphur diesel
fuel with a sulphur content less than
50 ppm.
Never refuel with one of the following fuels:
Petrol
R
Marine diesel
R
Heating oil
R
Pure fatty acid methyl ester (bio-diesel) or
R
vegetable oil
Paraffin or kerosene
R
If you have accidentally refuelled with the
wrong fuel:
Do not switch the ignition on.
#
Consult a qualified specialist workshop.
#
* NOTE Malfunction due to contaminated
fuel
Impurities in the fuel can lead to malfunctions
of the fuel system.
If you are using drums or canisters to
#
refuel the vehicle, you should filter the
fuel before filling.
In accordance with the European standard
EN 16942, you will find the compatibility marks
for fuel in the following places:
On the vehicle on the information label in the
R
fuel filler flap
Throughout Europe on the fuel dispenser or
R
pump nozzles suitable for your vehicle
1
For diesel fuel with a maximum of 7% by vol‐
ume bio-diesel (fatty acid methyl ester)
2
For paraffinic diesel fuel
XTL-compatible vehicles
Alternatively, you can also refuel with paraffinic
diesel fuel (e.g. HVO=hydrogenated vegetable oil,
GTL=Gas-To-Liquid) that complies with the Euro‐
pean standard EN 15940. Paraffinic diesel fuels
are collectively known as XTL.
% Refuel with paraffinic diesel fuels to
EN 15940 only if the appropriate compati‐
bility mark is present in your fuel filler
flap.
B10- fatty acid methyl ester
Mercedes-Benz approves the use of B10 fatty
acid methyl ester (low-sulphur diesel fuel with a
maximum of up to 10% by volume fatty acid
methyl ester) for all vehicles with Euro 5 diesel
engines with Common Rail Direct Injector (CDI).
You may only refuel with the approved fatty acid
methyl ester if the fatty acid methyl ester propor‐
tion conforms to the ASTM D6751 Standard. It
must also have the required oxidation stability of
at least 6 h, in accordance with the EN 14112
