I agree, that is why I asked-- different answer depending on model year/engine.

Two years ago we took a 2011 V6 Roadtrek Sprinter to Mazatlan and traveled around in that area for three months. Used 5 tanks of fuel with out a problem. The one thing you must do is keep the RMPs at 2000 or above to keep the exhaust system hot in order to burn off excess fuel and don't let it idle for very long even when you are stopped. If you are stopped in traffic for a minute or two turn the engine off. This is true even in the US. With the slap stick shifter it is easy to keep the RPMs up especially in slow traffic.

If the OP has a 07 or newer your experiences with the older units will be different.

ours the 5cyc runs great without all that epa junk on it.

May make a difference if the older 5 cylinder (less emissions equipment) or newer V6.

no problem for the 5 cal.Have taken my 06 view to the yucatan for last 3 years

Alain: It is my understanding that many Sprinter owners in the USA are having problems with the emission system. I wouldn't take that unit into Mexico and use the non ULSD. Could make the problems even worse.
