Fire, naked flames, smoking and crea‐
#
tion of sparks must be avoided.
Ensure that fuels do not come into con‐
#
tact with hot parts of the exhaust sys‐
tem.
Switch off the ignition and auxiliary
#
heating before carrying out work to the
fuel system.
Always wear protective gloves.
#
& WARNING Risk of fire from fuel mixture
Vehicles with a diesel engine:
If you mix diesel fuel with petrol, the flash
point of the fuel mixture is lower than that of
pure diesel fuel.
While the engine is running, component parts
in the exhaust system may overheat without
warning.
Never refuel using petrol.
#
Never mix petrol with diesel fuel.

BlueTec 6 vehicles: refuel with commercially
available sulphur-free fuel that complies with the
European standard EN 590 as of 2010 with a sul‐
phur content of max. 0.001% by weight (10 ppm).
The following fuel types are not permitted:
sulphurous fuel with a sulphur content over
R
0.001% by weight
marine diesel fuel
R
aviation turbine fuel
R
heating oils
R
bio-diesel fuels in accordance with DIN EN
R
14214 (FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester) and
UCOME (Used Cooking Oil Methyl Ester))
These types of fuel cause irreversible damage to
the engine and the exhaust gas aftertreatment
®
system BlueTec 6 and considerably reduce the
expected service life.
®
BlueTec 4 vehicles and BlueTec
the diesel fuel must comply with the European
standard EN 590. This enables the engines to
attain the specified performance as well as
legally prescribed emission levels of the Euro 4
and Euro 5 Standards.
The use of fuels with a sulphur content over
0.005% by weight (50 ppm) reduces the life
expectancy of the engine and exhaust system.
The following fuel types are not permitted:
sulphurous fuel with a sulphur content over
R
0.05% by weight
marine diesel fuel
R
aviation turbine fuel
R
heating oils
R
bio-diesel fuel FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester)
R
> 7% by vol.
bio-diesel fuel UCOME (Used Cooking Oil
R
Methyl Ester)
Vehicles without BlueTec
treatment: refuel only with commercially availa‐
ble sulphur-free diesel fuel that conforms to the
European Standard EN 590 as of 2010 or a com‐
parable national fuel standard. This enables the
engines to attain the specified performance as
well as legally prescribed emission levels of the
Euro 3 Standard.
The following fuel types are not permitted:
OM 460: sulphurous fuel with a sulphur con‐
R
tent over 0.2% by weight (2,000 ppm)
OM 473: sulphurous fuel with a sulphur con‐
R
tent over 0.1% by weight (1,000 ppm)
marine diesel fuel
R
aviation turbine fuel
R
heating oils
R
bio-diesel fuel FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester)
R
> 7% by vol.
bio-diesel fuel UCOME (Used Cooking Oil
R
Methyl Ester)
* NOTE Damage to the engine caused by
the wrong fuel
The engine and fuel system may be damaged
by the wrong fuel.
Even small amounts of the wrong fuel could
damage the fuel system and the engine.
Do not refuel with petrol.
