The heater that fits your 2011 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 with a 3.0L Diesel is the Kat's Heaters Thermostatically Controlled Circulating Tank Heater # KH13150. I have attached the specific instructions for your vehicle (it says Dodge Sprinter, but applies to Mercedes) which specifies exactly where you'll need to install the heater. It also requires the use of T-Style Adapter # # KH28115, which you'll want to keep in mind.
