Never refuel with petrol. Never add petrol to
diesel fuel.
! When refuelling, only use diesel fuel that
conforms to the European standard EN 590 or
is of equivalent quality. Fuel that does not
conform to EN 590 can lead to increased wear
as well as damage to the engine and exhaust
system.
! If you are using drums or canisters to refuel
the vehicle, you should filter the fuel before
adding it.
This will prevent malfunctions in the fuel sys-
tem due to contaminated fuel.
! Vehicles with diesel particle filters: in
countries outside the EU, only use low sulphur
Euro diesel with a sulphur content of under
50 ppm. Otherwise, the emission control sys-
tem could be damaged.
Vehicles with Euro 3 diesel engine
!
You will damage the diesel engine and the
diesel particle filter (DPF) if you refuel with the
following diesel fuels:
diesel fuel with a sulphur content of more
R
than 2,500 ppm
diesel fuel with a bio-diesel content of more
R
than 10%
diesel fuel with a bio-diesel content of up to
R
10%, which does not fulfil the requirements
stated under "Fuel grade"
Vehicles with Euro 4 diesel engine
!
You will damage the diesel engine and the
diesel particle filter (DPF) if you refuel with the
following diesel fuels:
diesel fuel with a sulphur content of more
R
than 500 ppm
diesel fuel with a bio-diesel content of more
R
than 7%
diesel fuel with a bio-diesel content of up to
R
7%, which does not fulfil the requirements
stated under "Fuel grade"
Vehicles with Euro 5 diesel engine
!
You will damage the diesel engine and the
diesel particle filter (DPF) if you refuel with the
following diesel fuels:
diesel fuel with a sulphur content of more
R
than 50 ppm
diesel fuel with a bio-diesel content of more
R
than 7%
diesel fuel with a bio-diesel content of up to
R
7%, which does not fulfil the requirements
stated under "Fuel grade"
! Vehicles with Euro 6 diesel engine
You will damage the diesel engine and the
diesel particle filter (DPF) if you refuel with the
following diesel fuels:
diesel fuel with a sulphur content of more
R
than 50 ppm
diesel fuel with a bio-diesel content of more
R
than 7%
diesel fuel with a bio-diesel content of up to
R
7%, which does not fulfil the requirements
stated under "Fuel grade"
! Do not use the following:
marine diesel
R
heating oil
R
bio-diesel
R
vegetable oil
R

Do not mix such fuels with diesel fuel and do
not use any special additives. This can other-
wise lead to engine damage. This does not
include flow improver additives. For further
information, see "Flow improvers".
The sulphur content of the diesel fuel must not
exceed the following values:
Euro 6 diesel engine
Euro 5 diesel engine
Euro 4 diesel engine
Euro 3 diesel engine
You will generally find information about the fuel
grade on the filling pump. If there is no identifi-
cation on the filling pump, consult a filling sta-
tion attendant.
