Diesel fuels
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Fuel is highly flammable. Improper handing of
fuel creates a risk of fire and explosion.
Avoid fire, naked flames, smoking and creat-
ing sparks under all circumstances. Switch off
the engine and, if applicable, the auxiliary
heating before refuelling.
G
WARNING
Fuels are poisonous and hazardous to health.
There is a danger of injury.
Do not swallow fuel or let it come into contact
with skin, eyes or clothing. Do not inhale fuel
vapours. Keep fuels out of the reach of chil-
dren.
If you or others come into contact with fuel,
observe the following:
R
Wash the fuel off any affected areas of skin
with water and soap immediately.
R
If you get fuel in your eyes, rinse them thor-
oughly with clean water immediately. Seek
immediate medical attention.
R
If fuel is swallowed, seek immediate medi-
cal attention. Do not induce vomiting.
R
Change any clothing that has come into
contact with fuel immediately.
!
If you are using drums or canisters to
refuel the vehicle, you should filter the fuel
before filling.
This prevents malfunctions in the fuel sys-
tem caused by contaminated fuel.
! Only refuel using commercially available,
sulphur-free diesel fuel that complies with
the following standards:
R
EN 590 as of 2010, et seq. (max. 0.001%
sulphur by weight) (10 ppm) or
R
ASTM D975 (max. 0.0015% sulphur by
weight) (15 ppm).
The following fuel types are not permitted:
R
sulphurous fuel with a sulphur content
greater than 0.005% by weight (50 ppm)
R
marine diesel fuel
R
aviation turbine fuel
R
heating oils
R
fatty acid methyl ester FAME (bio-diesel
fuel)
These fuel types cause irreversible damage
to the engine and the exhaust gas after-
treatment system, as well as also signifi-
cantly reducing the expected service life.
!
A higher fuel sulphur content accelerates
the ageing process of the engine oil and can
damage the engine and exhaust system.
Fuel grade
i
Certain countries have diesel fuel with
varying sulphur contents. Diesel fuel with a
lower sulphur content is sold in certain
countries under the name "Euro diesel".
Information about current country-specific
sulphur contents can be obtained from any
MTU or MTU-authorised Mercedes-Benz Ser-
vice Centre (
Y
page 9).
Water content
The maximum permissible water content at
the point of transfer between vehicle and
engine must not be greater than 200 mg/kg.
If the water content is higher, an additional
water separator must be fitted on the chassis.
If the engine is operated with increased
amounts of dirt and water, an additional fuel
prefilter with a water separator must be fitted
on the chassis.
Diesel fuels at low temperatures

WARNING
If you heat fuel system components, e.g. with
a hot-air gun or naked flame, these compo-
nents could be damaged. This can cause fuel
to escape and ignite. Depending on the type
of damage, fuel may also not escape until the
