Do not blend other specific fuel addi-
tives with diesel fuel except for fuel flow
improver. They only result in unneces-
sary cost, and may be harmful to the en-
gine operation.
Flow improversThe effectiveness of flow improvers can-
not be guaranteed with all fuels. Ob-
serve the mixing ratio and comply with
the handling instructions given from the
manufacturer.
Warning
G
Under no circumstances should gasoline
be mixed with diesel fuel.
Due to the high pressure and high temper-
ature in the injection system, there is a
risk of fire and explosion.In addition, there is a risk of engine damage.Always follow basic safety rules when
working with any combustible material.

1 Whenever the coolant is replaced, a concentration of 50% by volume of corrosion inhibitor/antifreeze should be maintained. This provides antifreeze pro-
tection down to -34,6 °F (-37 °C). Do not exceed a concentration of 55% by volume (antifreeze protection down to approximately -49 °F (-45 °C)), as the
heat dissipation properties deteriorate at higher concentrations. Observe the Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Service Products, Sheet 325.
