FAME fuels may cause components
in the fuel system to stick if the en-
gine is left switched off for long pe-
riods. For this reason, always use
up the amount of FAME fuel remain-
ing in the fuel tank and refuel with
conventional diesel fuel before the
engine is switched off for long peri-
4
ods. Run the engine for at least one
hour before the vehicle is parked
up.
The quality of hoses adjacent to the
engine, and connected either to the
vehicle or machine, must satisfy the
requirements of FAME fuels.

Based on negative experiences,
DaimlerChrysler does not accept
the use of pure vegetable oils as an
alternative to diesel or FAME fuels.
The use of pure vegetable oils can
lead to engine damage arising from
coking and oil sludge forming as
well as deposits in combustion
chambers.
Environmental note
If you operate your vehicle using bio-diesel
fuel, please consult your disposal firm as to
whether the engine oil must be collected
separately. Not all manufacturers of rere-
fined products (lubricants manufactured
from used engine oils) are able to process
engine oil contaminated with bio-diesel fuel.
Observe the special notes and national reg-
ulations on the disposal of engine oils. Infor-
mation is available from any qualified
specialist workshop or Mercedes-Benz Serv-
ice Centre.
