16-20???

I'm getting 8 on a run in my 350K Kms 300-24. On short journeys it's pretty poor at, perhaps, 14 or 15.

It must be running very rich. I assume it's fuel-injected Bosch K or KE.

I would start with measuring Duty Cycle - lots of comment on the forums.

Are you SURE it's as bad as 16-20??? My friend gets that on a 4.9 V8, petrol Jeep.

Good luck.
