diesel loss problem

[TobyJug]

If it's burning that much diesel, you should be followed by a black cloud of smoke everywhere, or leaving a trail of diesel on the road.
If not, then the injectors could be knackered and dumping loads of fuel into the cylinders thats not getting burnt and could be 'washing' the bores which is also very bad!

Are you sure you're doing the maths correctly?

yep I am doing the maths right I am blowing a fair bit of black smoke I have to say.....
specially when I put my foot down I am not sure if they can still see the road behind me....

But it has always been fairly smokey...and she runs and sounds smooth....

I am not sure what to do now....
Not sure what to test next might have to drop her in a garage....
But am skinned at the moment....
