Biodiesel (FAME = Fatty Acid Methyl
Ester) containing fuels
Mercedes-Benz USA approves the use of B5
(standard ULSD which may contain a
maximum of 5% biodiesel) in all Common-rail
injection (CDI) and BlueTEC diesel engines.
Diesel fuels containing a higher percentage of
biodiesel, e.g. B20, as well as straight
biodiesel may cause severe damage to your
engine/fuel system and are not approved.
Please ask your service station personnel for
further information. If the B5 biodiesel blend
is not sufficiently labeled to clearly indicate
that it meets the ULSD standard, please do
not use it.
The Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty does
not cover damages caused by the use of fuels
not meeting Mercedes-Benz approved fuel
standards.
Gasoline additives (gasoline engine)
A major concern among engine
manufacturers is carbon build-up caused by
gasoline. Mercedes-Benz recommends only
the use of quality gasoline containing
additives that prevent the build-up of carbon
deposits.
After an extended period of using fuels
without such additives carbon deposits can
build up, especially on the intake valves and
in the combustion area, leading to engine
performance problems such as:
R Warm-up hesitation
R Unstable idle
R
Knocking/pinging
R Misfire
R Power loss
In areas where carbon deposits may be
encountered due to lack of availability of
gasoline which contains these additives, the
use of Mercedes-Benz approved additives is
recommended.
Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center
