26Introduction

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.
For more information about refueling
(
Ypage 131).
Fuel additives
!Operating the engin ewith subsequently

age. Do not mix fuel additives with fuel. This

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
