[diesel_mercedes] Fuel Economy Check '84 300CD Auto

 

This is the last tank full from my road rally , it was running poorly , missing/skipping a bit over 3,000 RPM in any gear , this has gotten worse now , this morning (Sunday 10/20) I was barely able to achieve 65 MPH on the freeway flat out floored .

 

It's definately running too lean , Friday evening I removed the in tank fuel screen  and it is spotless so now I'll be checking for air leaks in the rubber hoses , maybe it needs yet another secondary (spin on) fuel filter even though I changed it less than 10,000 miles ago .

 

506 miles (I drove it way into the low fuel warning light on to reduce the fuel draining & diesel bath , worked great ~ I spilled some diesel fuel on the cement but took _NO_ diesel bath atall this time)

 

28.8 MPG , it's been a long time since I got over 25 MPG .
