SprinterHow far can this Mercedes Benz Diesel Sprinter van travel with gas inside the tank or a mix of gas and diesel?

Not very far without risking damage. It would depend on the mixture. Lets say you had one gallon of gas and 20 gallons of diesel. You might make it through and just need to replace the fuel filter. I would think much more than that and you are left along side the road. Not a good idea to mix.

Mixing the two is not a good idea. The diesel engine would ignite prematurely which can cause internal damage to the engine. Damage may also occur in the fuel pump and mess up the fuel injectors.

Gasoline is a by product left over from when diesel was made. In the beginning this by product was just dumped to the wayside.

Radio come on but no sound, I check fuse is there a fiber optic fuse or what could it be?

Radio come on but no sound

I will provide you with the radio wiring diagram to use for diagnostics. If the problem is internal in the radio, replacing it would be the fix.

Front SAM Module Recall Notice

MARCH 2008 — Mercedes-Benz is recalling 3,283 MY 2008 S-Class and CL-Class passenger vehicles. A malfunction may occur on the Signal Acquisition and Actuation Module-Front (SAM-F) transistors. The SAM-F is a double transistor that helps control vehicle functions and the lighting of the center console. Incorrect storage of the transistors led the transistors to be exposed to excess humidity. The presence of this moisture in combination with the thermal stress during the “reflow soldering” may have damaged the transistors while could prevent them from properly functioning increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will inspect and replace all potentially affected SAMs. The recall is expected to begin during May 2008. Owners may contact Mercedes-Benz at 1-800-367-6372. 08V122
