The only thing I've read that's been officially from mercedes-benz is adding kerosine to a diesel tank in the winter. This keeps the diesel from gelling up in the cold. My owner's manual is where I read it. I read on another thread on here that a guy put power steering fluid in his diesel and it ran fine. I'm sure the steering:diesel ratio was pretty low. This whole discussion has sparked an interest in me. What is safe putting in a diesel tank and what isn't? If you're desperate, what can you put in without hurting it at all?
