iYou will generally findinformation about the
fuel grade on the filling pump. If there is no
identification on the filling pump, consult a
gas station attendant.
As atemporary measure, if the recommended
fuel is not available, you may also use regular
unleaded gasolinew ith an octane ratingof
87 AKI/91R ON. This may reduce the engine's
performance and increase fuel consumption.
Avoid drivingatf ull throttle and sudden accel-
eration. Never refuel using fuel with alower
AKI/RON rating.
iIn some countries, the available gasoline
may not be sufficiently low in sulfur. This fuel
can temporarily produceu npleasantodors,
especially on shortj ourneys. The odors are
reduce dassoon as sulfur-free fuel (sulfur
conten t<10 ppm) is used again for refueling.

(

Fuel additives
!Operating the engin ewith subsequently
added fuel additives can cause engin edam-
age. Do not mix fuel additives with fuel. This
does not include additives for the removal and
prevention of deposits. Gasoline can only be
mixe dwith additives recommended by
Mercedes-Benz. Follow the instructions in the
productd escription .You can findf urther
information on recommended additives in any
Mercedes-Ben zCommercial Van Center.
Mercedes-Ben zrecommends using brand-name
fuels with additives.
If you use fuels without these additives for along
period of time, depositsc an form.This primarily
formsont he inlet valve and in the combustion
chamber.
In some countries, the available fuel grade may
be inadequate. Residue could build up in the fuel
injection syste masaresult.Int his case, in con-
sultation with aMercedes-Ben zCommercial
Van Center, the fuel should be mixe dwith the
cleaning additiv
erecommen ded
by Mercedes-
Benz. You must observet he notes and mixing
ratio sindicated on the container.
Do not add other fuel additives to the fuel. This
resultsinu nnecessary cost sand can damage
