*Technical data Genuine Sprinter parts 왔 Genuine Sprinter parts The “Technical data” section contains im- portant technical data regarding your vehi- cle. You will find other vehicle-specific and equipment-dependent technical data, such as: 앫 engine power output data 앫 speeds 앫 vehicle dimensions 앫 vehicle weights in your vehicle documents.
Make sure that spare parts are suitable for your vehicle. Parts that constitute a modi- fication to the vehicle by: 앫 changing the type of vehicle approved
in the general operating permit, 앫 creating a risk to road users or 앫 having an adverse effect on the vehi-
cle’s emissions and noise levels,
will in many countries invalidate the gen- eral operating permit. The use of non- approved parts could have a detrimental effect on road safety.
Every authorized Sprinter Dealer maintains a stock of genuine sprinter parts for main- tenance and repair work. Over 6000 retailers around the world guar- antee that you can be supplied with genu- ine sprinter parts wherever you are. Over 300,000 different parts and assemblies, including parts for older vehicle models, are distributed from a central parts ware- house using an optimally tuned logistics concept.

Fuels
Warning
Fuels for gasoline engines
Premium unleaded gasoline
Gasoline is highly flammable and poisonous. It burns violently and can cause serious inju- ry. Whenever you are around gasoline, avoid inhaling fumes and skin contact, extinguish all smoking materials. Never allow sparks, flame or smoking materials near gasoline! Direct skin contact with fuels and the inha- lation of fuel vapors are damaging to health.
Switch off the engine before refueling.
!CAUTION If you are refueling the vehicle from drums or canisters, you should filter the fuel before adding it to the tank. This will prevent malfunctions in the fuel system caused by contaminated fuel.
!CAUTION To maintain the engine’s durability and performance, premium unleaded gaso- line must be used. If premium unleaded is not available and low octane fuel is used, follow these precautions: 앫 Have the fuel tank only partially
filled with unleaded regular and fill up with premium unleaded as soon as possible.
앫 Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt
acceleration.
앫 Do not exceed an engine speed
of 3000 rpm if the vehicle is loaded with a light load, such as two per- sons and no cargo.
앫 Do not exceed 2/3 of maximum ac- celerator pedal position if the vehi- cle is fully loaded or operating in mountainous terrain.
Fuel requirements Only use premium unleaded fuel: 앫 The octane number (posted at the
pump) must be 91 min. It is an average of both the Research (R) octane num- ber and the Motor (M) octane number: (R+M)/2). This is also known as the ANTI-KNOCK INDEX.
Unleaded gasoline containing oxygenates such as ethanol, IPA, IBA and TBA can be used provided the ratio of any one of these oxygenates to gasoline does not exceed 10%; MTBE not to exceed 15%. The ratio of methanol to gasoline must not exceed 3% plus additional cosolvents. Using mixtures of ethanol and methanol is not allowed. Gasohol, which contains 10% ethanol and 90% unleaded gasoline, can be used. These blends must also meet all other fuel requirements, such as resistance to spark knock, boiling range, vapor pressure, etc.
!CAUTION The following may lead to increased wear or engine damage: 앫 Using gasoline that does not meet the specifications mentioned above
앫 The use of non-approved special
additives
Fuels for diesel engines
!CAUTION Marine diesel fuel, bio diesel fuel, heat- ing oil or the like must not be used. Do not blend diesel fuel with marine diesel fuel, bio diesel fuel or heating oil. The use of such non-approved fuels or blending diesel fuel may result in mal- function or cause engine damage. Damage or malfunctions resulting from poor fuel quality or from blending spe- cific fuel additives are not covered by the Sprinter warranty.
*Technical data Service products and capacities Fuel requirements Only use commercially available vehicular ULTRA-LOW SULFUR HIGHWAY DIESEL FUEL (15 ppm SULFUR MAXIMUM). DaimlerChrysler USA now approves the use of B5 bio diesel (standard diesel with a maximum of up to 5% Bio diesel content) in the Sprinter CRD diesel engine. Information on diesel quality can normally be found on the fuel pump.
