Looks like it would be relatively difficult to find the really wrong fuel for your truck.

So, does your Sprinter take only Fatty Acid Methyl Ester? Or does it take a mixture of FAME and regular diesel. What about just regular diesel. Can you use that?

Jeez. So many questions.

It accepts B-5 or better.
