Diesel engines – fuels with biodiesel
(FAME [fatty acid methyl ester])
Mercedes-Benz USA approves the use of B5

volume biodiesel) for all diesel engines with
common rail direct injection (CDI) and
BlueTEC.

biodiesel blend meets the ULSD standard. If
the label is not clear, do not refuel the vehicle.
