The mechanic is probably correct.

I had an issue years ago where running the driving lights caused both fuel gauges to drop to empty.
If the camper was connected the main tank refused to show...

If the gauze strainer is still present in the fuel injection pump inlet it might be restricted.

I'd check that before doing anything else.

A PM has been sent.

Changing battery type is just tinkering around the edges.

You say you're already nudging max GVM (looks over to me..).
If you want to tow, you'll need to upgrade the GVM.
Been there....

Check that the brake backing plate is not touching the brake rotor.

If it's a factory turbo, cracking the turbo coolant line banjo bolt and allowing it to drain is much easier.

If you plan to go into deep water you should sort it. The air box/snorkel joint at the inner guard is nowhere near water tight.

Cut the flange off the air box inlet, and the front off the snorkel...
