UEL REQUIREMENTS

Gasoline Engines

eformulated gasolines (RFG) and/or unleaded gasoline con-ining oxygenates such as Ethanol, TAME, ETBE, IPA, IBA,d TBA can be used provided that the ratio of any one ofese oxygenates to gasoline does not exceed 10%. MTBE may added up to 15%. The ratio of Methanol to gasoline mustt exceed 3% plus co-solvents.

ixtures of Ethanol and Methanol must not be used. Gasohol,hich contains 10% Ethanol and 90% unleaded gasoline, canso be used. These blends must also meet all other fuelquirements such as resistance to spark knock, boiling range,por pressure, etc.

asoline Additives

major concern among engine manufacturers is carbon build- caused by gasoline. MERCEDES-BENZ recommends toe only quality gasoline containing additives that prevent theild up of carbon deposits.

esearch octane number (R) and the Motor octane number): (R + M) / 2. The octane number is also known as the Anti-

aution! To maintain the engine’s durability and performance,ly premium unleaded gasoline is to be used. If premiumleaded is not available and low octane gasoline is used, fol-w these precautions:

Partially fill the fuel tank with unleaded regular gasoline and fill up with premium unleaded as soon as possible.

Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt acceleration.

Do not exceed an engine speed of 2000 rpm if the vehicle has a light load (two occupants and no luggage for exam-ple).

Do not exceed 2/3 of maximum accelerator pedal position if the vehicle is fully loaded or operating in mountainous terrain.
