Synergy Diesel Efficient™ fuel for cars
Is this fuel OK to run in OM642? This is what they sell at Esso and Mobil1 stations in Ontario Canada.
i pulled up to one and it had a label BIO 100%

I can't say for the 642, but here is the guidance in the manual for my 651:
Bio-diesel - FAME (fatty acid methyl ester)
Mercedes-Benz USA approves the use of biodiesel
B5 for all BlueTEC diesel engines. The
concentration of bio-diesel in the ULSD may
not exceed 5% by volume.
Pure bio-diesel and diesel fuel with a higher
percentage of bio-diesel, such as B20, can
damage the engine and the fuel system. For
this reason, they are not approved.
Sounds like if it's really B100 it would not be approved...

In the US it's just Exxon/Mobil's detergent and additive package (extra lubricity etc.) applied to regular terminal diesel. The additive is added at the terminal vice at the service station.
No biodiesel, no hydrogenated vegetable oil. More booby misinformation.

OP
I would figure out a different place to go if the staff are hand writing various labels for something that should be properly posted. Ya dont want to use 100% bio in a vehicle that has problems with 10 or 20%.
