[diesel_mercedes] Fuel Economy Check '82 240D Slushbox

 

379 miles, Diesel Kleen used, 21.3 MPG .

I left the car for it's first post rebuild checkup, they installed the copper washer I supplied to stanch the #4 IP delivery valve weeping and changed the oil, adjusted the valves, stepped the idle up a bit, maybe higher than I like, we'll see .

I don't know what happened to my fuel economy, maybe they leaked out some fuel as it was getting 24 MPG's, it's never gone this low before .

I filled it up with Propel HPR Biomass Diesel and we'll see what this tank full yields .

It certainly runs sweetly ~ vibrates a bit @ idle but is smooth as silk as soon as you touch the throttle .

Being an OM616 2.5 liter it's still rather leisurely when accelerating but I'm fine with that .
