For more information on diesel fuels
contact your authorized Sprinter Dealer. Diesel fuels for use at very low tem-
peratures Only use commercially available vehicu-
lar ULTRA-LOW SULFUR DIESEL FUEL
(15 ppm SULFUR MAXIMUM).To prevent malfunctions, diesel fuel with
improved cold flow characteristics is of-
fered in the winter months. Check with
your fuel retailer.
At very low temperatures the fluidity of
No. 2 diesel fuel may become insuffi-
cient due to paraffin separation. For this
reason the vehicle comes equipped with
a fuel preheater. It permits trouble-free
engine operation to a temperature of ap-
proximately 14 °F (–10 °C).
At temperatures below 14 °F (–10 °C) a
certain quantity of fuel flow improver
may be added. These substances may
only be mixed within the vehicle’s fuel
tank.Engine power may drop according to the
proportion of fuel flow improver. For this
reason, keep the percentage of fuel flow
improver to the minimum necessitated
by the ambient temperature.
Adding kerosene to diesel fuel is not rec-
ommended even at low temperatures.
iCommercially available vehicular
ULTRA-LOW SULFUR HIGHWAY DIE-
SEL FUEL may contain up to 5% bio
diesel. This proportion will not have
an effect on performance and wear.
!
CAUTION
Do not fill the tank with gasoline.
Do not mix diesel fuel with gasoline
or kerosene. The fuel system and en-
gine will otherwise be damaged,
which is not covered by the Sprinter
vehicle warranty.
