[diesel_mercedes] Fuel Economy Check '84 300CD Slushbox

 

Low fuel lamp on to stay @ 380 miles, made it to 420 miles and used 18 + gallons filling it, fuel mileage dropped to 22.4 MPG but I also flat footed it some (100 + MPH) and swerved like a drunken sailor to loosen up more silt from the bottom of the tank ~ seems to have worked as the paper filter was black again .

Silver bottle Diesel Kleen used .

Demarkis accompanied me to the Propel filling station on PCH at the harbor freeway, helped me change the filter and check the oil before filling the tank .

He was pleased to be allowed to watch for leaks as the clear plastic micronic element filter filled when I re started the engine .

Most of to - day it ran smoothly at hot idle, the various swerving to and fro put an end to that but the lopey idle isn't terrible, just annoying .
