I have an '83 F350 mason dump with the 6.9 diesel, and I get about 16 
mpg loaded or empty. I did have one small problem that caused poor 
mileage: the copper washers on a couple of the injectors (like the 
washers on spark plugs) somehow disappeared and allowed some leaking 
(and reduced power). I don't know how this could have happened, but when 
I replaced the washers, the mileage improved.

It is not bigotry to be certain we are right; but it is bigotry to be
unable to imagine how we might possibly have gone wrong. -G.K. Chesterton,
essayist and novelist (1874-1936)
