Flow improvers
The effectiveness of flow improvers cannot
be guaranteed with all fuels. Comply with
the manufacturer's recommendations.
The addition of flow improvers does not af-
fect the cold stability of the bio-diesel fuel.
Kerosene
The addition of 5% by volume of kerosene
improves the cold-resistance of diesel fuel
by approximately 1 °C. The proportion of
kerosene additive must not exceed 50%.
Run the engine for a while to ensure
that the additive reaches all parts of
the fuel system.
If summer-grade diesel fuel or winter-
grade fuel with less resistance to low tem-
peratures is in use, add a quantity of flow
improver or kerosene, depending on out-
side temperatures. Bio-diesel fuel (FAME fuel)
It is also possible to run the vehicle on bio-
diesel fuel.
This results in
a slightly higher fuel consumption
a slightly reduced engine power output
increased white smoke formation after
a cold start
Please refer to the notes on Sheet No. 135
of the Mercedes-Benz Specifications for
Service Products.
i
Add as little as possible, consistent
with outside temperatures.
Risk of fire and explosion
G
Adding kerosene lowers the flash point of
the diesel fuel. This increases the risk of
handling this fuel mixture.
Mix kerosene with diesel fuel only in the fuel
tank.
Add the kerosene first, then the diesel fuel.
Comply with the relevant safety regulations.
i
It is possible to mix standard diesel fuel
with FAME fuel (fatty acid methylester).
For safety reasons, only mix bio-diesel
fuel with diesel fuel in the vehicle's fuel
tank.
