Maybe your ecu map is a bit out of sorts and it's holding your injectors open too long
I'll top it up tomorrow when I take it down to wash that stinky as sh!t Tallarook mud off it and let you know how much I put in.

You won't have to pull the fuel system out.
Just locate your return on the tank, if it goes to the rear tank you'll be able to get it via inspection hatch in the cargo area.
Add a peice of line to it to clear the cab or drop it in front of the tank into a bucket, start it up. At idle it should be a good flow.

I cant get to the inspection hole... I can check it down along the chassis but where it may have run into grief is just before the tank as it was a really tight fit with all the extra fuel lines for the Aux tank after I took all the gas out.
Does the return line go from solid to rubber at an easy to get to spot?? Can you divert it at that joint?
Maybe try and blow some air down the rest of it..

41L I got in there and I travelled 162km since I filled up......works out about 24L/100km I think.
Not too bad for low range driving.

Hmm ok I think I need to do some sums... I will fill up tomorrow and drive 100km then top up again and see what numbers I get.
This will be city driving and later in the week I can do a highway run and do another comparison..... then report back with my results.
Thanks Drew.
No worries. Was just thinking that you also have a couple of extra inches lift on yours and I'm also running the skinnier tyres that have a reduced rolling resistance.

Ok I did 50km exactly towing a very heavy gardening trailer with it full for nearly the whole 50km in city driving and put 12 litres in....
Now to do the other 50km tomorrow on the freeway... going to the RAAF base to take the kids out and we will see what results I get there??
The smell I get in the cab is more like an oil smell as today (maybe as it is cooler day) there it was really strong.
I've been told its because I am running petrol and because I have not finished the quarter chop but I ran petrol a lot before I took the gas out and I never got this smell in the cab before... it burns my eyes when it's really bad.
Hmmm....
