[diesel_mercedes] 506 Miles On ONE TANK ! '82 240D Slushbox

 

I've been waiting to see how far I could go on one tank full after adjusting the tranny's vacuum control, the low fuel lam came on at 389 miles and it began to sputter @ 506 miles so I coasted off the freeway and replaced the clear plastic intake screen (it'd been very clean until the bottom of the tank) , dumped in a gallon of fresh Diesel fuel I was carrying and made it to a filling station , 510 miles total .

Sadly still only 25 MPG ~ I'm gojng to try adjusting the tranny to up shift sooner and hope that'll get my fuel economy back to where it used to be, 27/32 .
