170 STARTING AND OPERATING

SNOW CHAINS

Install snow chains on rear wheels only. Install snow
chains on exterior wheel in vehicles with double tires.
Comply with the manufacturer’s installation
instructions.

NOTE:

Vehicles with snow chains installed are only to

be driven on a snow-covered surface. The snow chains
must be removed on road surfaces free of snow.

FUELS

Use only commercially available vehicular diesel fuels
No. 2 or No. 1 (ASTM D 975 No. 2-D or No. 1-D).

If diesel fuels are used with a sulphur content
exceeding 0.05 % by weight, engine oil change
intervals must be shortened. Please contact your
Sprinter Dealer to obtain the necessary information.
Marine diesel fuel, heating oil or the like must not be
used.

Refueling from drums or canisters may lead to the fuel
becoming contaminated. This in turn can cause faults
in the fuel system. Always filter the fuel before adding
it to the vehicle’s tank.

Fuel Filter with Water Separator

Check the water separator when the fuel indicator
lamp

does not go out or comes on while the engine

is running. For more information on the indicator
lamp

.

The interval for changing the fuel filter is reduced to
10,000 miles (about 15,000 km).
