Fuel
Mercedes diesel engines require diesel fuel with a cetane number of 45. The cetane number (CZ) - description of flammability of fuel. Diesel fuel contains a number of additives. Accelerator ignition with cetane number increases flammability. The oxidation inhibitor improves the stability of the fuel during storage. Defoamer prevents the formation of foam in the fuel bay. Antide. Through catalytic effect complete combustion of the carbon particles. Surfactant reduces deposits in the injection system. Improver conductivity, prevents the formation of electrostatic charges. Metal deactivators need to deactivate copper ions acting as catalysts of oxidation. Antizagustitel improves cold flow (filterability, the ability to allocate the wax). Fragrances must neutralize the characteristic smell. Antinagar lowers the temperature of soot formation and soot particle filters for exhaust gases. Biozidy prevent bacterial growth. Additives for wear protection improves the lubrication of the fuel pump.
Winter diesel Fuel is pre-heated. The diesel fuel in winter can be added additives: 1. Autol Desolite D / DW, LM Fliessfit, Valvoline Winterfit or Veedol Diesel Aktiv.
A WARNING For fuels, freezing at -22 ?� C, additional amounts antizagustitelya only in exceptional cases have a positive effect. |
PRACTICAL ADVICE How to save fuel Accelerate smoothly, but as soon as possible, switch to the next gear. Upon reaching the desired speed, switch to the highest gear and press the accelerator pedal. The engine must operate at high speeds only when overtaking or driving in a stream. |
2. Addition of unleaded gasoline. But this impairs the flammability. If using summer (from 0 to -15 ?� C) and conventional standard (-15 to -25 ?� C) fuel, it is advisable to add no more than 30% of normal gasoline. In terms of full fuel tank (65 liters), this will be the maximum 19 liters of gasoline. If the temperature reaches a specified negative value, it is necessary to add less fuel respectively. Of course, such a mixture the engine will operate uneconomically, worse start. In addition, operation of the motor will be stiffer. Accordingly, some will increase the load on the engine parts. So as soon as the temperature allows, again, pour diesel fuel.
