Hi guys
I have TD42 2000 model it is low on power and uses a LOT of fuel it gets about 16L per 100K highway use and worse around town, it has 330K on the clock starts easy doesn't blow black smoke has new fuel filter and air cleaner and has a stock exhaust . I have put some fuel treatment in and it did improve slightly. It is a gear to 2 gears slower on the hills around my place than the wife's stock 80 series. It has pretty good low down power upto about 2000 rpm over that its like a petrol engine wife the timing retarded. I am thinking pump timing any other ideas before I take it to the diesel man.
