Diesel Exhaust
I would like to see if I can get better mileage with my 300TD wagon. I am wondering what all I should do. I was also wondering if I can do something with the exhaust system that may help. Someone have good advice?
I have already done the fuel filters and air cleaner. I have read the posts about WVO but where I live that would be tough, only two places sell french fries! No fast Food places to be seen!! Steve

Chinese restaurants produce the best oil.

valve adjustments, keep up on the filters, oil changes, clean the tank out if it has fungus, tires to proper psi, dont use S at take offs.. and stay on top of general and prevenative maintence

mileage
I guess that I should have also asked what kind of mileage I can expect. I may be getting very good mileage already. I drive on mountain roads, in traffic and on the Freeways.

Not sure about the wagons but my '84 gets about 25mpg. Its got about two degrees of chain stretch so the cam and pump timing are pretty close. I just did the valves, fuel filters are good but the air filter could stand a change. That mpg figure was averaged this January so I haven't had a chance to check it on winter fuel. My '85 got about 21 and I also think that might have had something to do with the timing chain. It was at least seven degrees stretched and it would stumble for about a minute on cold starts, whereas my '84 fires right up.
