Do not mix these fuels with petrol, and do
not use any additives. This can otherwise
lead to engin edamage. This does not
include cleanin gadditives for the removal
and prevention of residue build-up. Only
cleanin gadditives recommended by
Mercedes-Ben zshould be added to petrol,
see "Additives". You can obtai nfurther
information from any Mercedes-Benz

Additives
! Operatin gthe engin ewith fuel additives
can cause wear in the fuel high-pressure
pump and contaminate the entire fuel sys-
tem. The repair costs are high. This does
not include additives for the removal and
prevention of residue build-up. Petrol must
only be mixed with additives recommended
by Mercedes-Benz .More information about
recommended additives can be obtained
from any Mercedes-Benz Servic eCentre. One of the major problem
swith low-grade
fuel is the creation of carbon deposits during
the process of burnin gfuel. Mercedes-Benz
recommends that you use fuel brands that
have additives.
If you use fuels without these additives for a
longer period of time, there may be abuild-up
of carbon deposits. Thes ewill form especially
on the inlet valves and in the combustion
chamber.
This could lead to engine runnin gproblems,
e.g.:
R longe rengine warm-up phase
R uneven idle
R engine noise
R misfiring
R los so fpower
In areas where petrol with the required addi-
tives is not available, carbon deposits can
build up. In this case, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends the use of additives that have been
approved for Mercedes-Benz vehicles; see
http:/ /bevo.mer cedes-benz.com.
The quality of the fuel available in some coun-
tries may not be sufficien t.Residue could
build up as aresult. In such cases, and in
consultation with aMercedes-Ben zService
Cent re,the petrol ma ybemixed with the
additive recommended by Mercedes-Benz
(part no. A000989254510). You must
observe the notes and mixin gratios specified
on the container.
Consult aMercedes-Ben zService Cent reto
view alist of approved products. Observe the
instruc tions for use in the product descrip-
tion.
Do not mix other fuel additives with fuel. This
causes unnecessary cost sand could damage
the engi ne. Service products and capacities
