Refueling

Operation
! If you are using drums or canisters to refuel
the vehicle, you should filter the fuel before fill-
ing.
This prevents the fuel system from being affect-
ed by dirt particles in the fuel.
! Do not use gasoline to refuel vehicles with a
diesel engine. Even small amounts of gasoline
will cause damage to the injection system. Dam-
age resulting from adding gasoline is not covered
by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
! If the wrong fuel has been added by mistake,
do not switch on the ignition. If you do, the fuel
could enter the fuel lines. The tank and the fuel
lines must then be drained. Inform an authorized
Sprinter Dealer and have the tank and the fuel
lines drained completely.
The fuel filler flap is next to the driver's
door. You can only open the fuel filler flap
when the driver's door is open.

E Switch off the auxiliary heating

wise and let it hang by retaining

Refueling
G Warning
Fuel is highly flammable. Fire, open flames
and smoking as well as the use of auxiliary
heaters (sparks) are therefore prohibited
when handling fuel.
For this reason, switch off the auxiliary heat-
ing when refueling.
G Warning
Do not allow fuel to come into contact with
your skin or clothing. Your health may be
damaged if:
O you spill fuel onto your bare skin
O you inhale fuel vapors
H Environmental note
If fuels are handled improperly, they pose a
danger to persons and to the environment.
Do not allow fuels to run into the sewage sys-
tem, the surface waters, the ground water or
into the ground.
G Warning
Do not use gasoline to refuel vehicles with a
diesel engine. Do not mix diesel with gaso-
line. This would result in damage to the fuel
system and engine, which could lead to a ve-
hicle fire.
