[diesel_mercedes] Fuel Economy Check '82 240D Slushbox

 

Low fuel lamp came on a ways from home @ 480 miles, I was out trying to find some W-123's in Junk Yards (SEVEN YARDS and only one had any) so I kept driving hoping to make it to the ProPel Biomass Diesel Station in Arcadia, Ca. .

I barely made it ~ the engine stalled as I got off the freeway, it was only one mile to the filling station where I removed the clear plastic intake screen and blew some fairly fine silty black stuff and one chunk .

566 miles, 27.4 MPG .

This is since I replaced the leaky fuel filler cap gasket, nary a drop leaked since then .

I'm *very* pleased to have gone 566 miles on one tank of fuel *:x lovestruck .

More once I get caught up and do the valve job / overhaul .
