mileage

After my last fill up I checked my mileage and got only 250 miles per tank and am running close to that now. I've got a 6L diesel and am curious as to the decline. Nothing added on the engine.

Welcome to FTE!

Tank sizes vary depending on cab size and truck model/year. What is this in MPG? What did it previously get? Have you checked at the 6.0 diesel subforum?

Whoa! Big drop! I'm a gasser guy, but it still sounds funny. Check over at the diesel subforums here - General Diesel Discussion - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums to see what they recommend.

Good luck!
