Fantastic write up...I may be doing this.

Question though: I just bought an 83 300TD with 199,xxx miles on it, and the oil in the SLS tank is as black as coal, really it looks like crankcase oil. Any ideas on why this would be? Just never been changed? Cross contaminated with crankcase oil somehow? Serviced with the wrong oil? The mysteries of a previously enjoyed car.
