TBA can be used provided the ratio of any one is one that meets ASTM D6751 specification
of these oxygenates to gasoline does not
exceed 10%; MTBE must not exceed 15%.
The ratio of methanol to gasoline must not
exceed 3% plus additional cosolvents.
and has additionally an adequate oxidation
stability of min. 6 hours (acc. to EN14112) to
prevent damage to the system from deposits
and/or corrosion.
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.
Using mixtures of ethanol and methanol is not
allowed. Gasohol, which contains 10%
ethanol and 90% unleaded gasoline, can be
used.
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 above standards, please do
not use it.
These blends must also meet all other fuel
requirements, such as resistance to spark
knock, boiling range, vapor pressure, etc.
Diesel engine
The Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty does
not cover damages caused by the use of fuels
not meeting Mercedes-Benz approved fuel
standards.
Only use commercially available vehicular
ULTRA-LOW SULFUR HIGHWAY DIESEL FUEL
(15
ppm SULFUR MAXIMUM) that meets the
ASTM D975 standard. Failure to use
ULTRA-LOW SULFUR HIGHWAY DIESEL FUEL
can severely damage the vehicle’s exhaust
after-treatment device.
To prevent malfunctions, diesel fuel with
improved cold flow characteristics is offered
in the winter months. Check with your fuel
retailer.
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.
!
Do not fill the tank with gasoline. Do not
blend diesel fuel with gasoline or kerosene.
The fuel system and engine will otherwise
be damaged, which is not covered by the
Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
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:

and BlueTEC diesel engines.
As biodiesel can be produced from a variety
of raw materials resulting in widely varying
qualities, the only approved biodiesel for B5
encountered due to lack of availability of
gasoline which contains these additives, the
use of Mercedes-Benz approved additives is
recommended.
