The MB Biodiesel Brochure online at MBUSA.COM is a bit confusing as to what ULSD (ULTRA LOW SULPHER DIESEL) fuel is acceptable because of the fuel pump labels that are shown in the brochure.
The brochure states that ULSD B-5 (fuel with 5% or less biodiesel) that meets ASTM D975 is OK to burn in MB diesel engines. USLD B20 (fuel with 5% up to 20% biodiesel) that meets ASTM D7467 is not acceptable. Of course B100 fuel, which is 100% biodiesel and meets ATSM D6751 is not an acceptable fuel either.
Perhaps it's just me, but the green ULSD pump label shown in the brochure is confusing because that label does not say it meets ASTM D975 - just that it is ULSD fuel. There are other labels shown for B-20 Biodiesel, B20 Biomass, B100 Biodiesel and B100 Biomass fuel pump stickers.
Is it safe to assume that the green ULSD label ALWAYS indicates B5 or less?
