    Post some details then if you want help. What does an overhaul mean? A total rebuild or an oil and filter change?

                Yeah. No idea why they have to be so blunt, personally.

                    I'd be looking for leaking fuel hoses or pipes by the sounds of that.

                      I would say that qualifies as poor consumption, definitely look for a leak, the engine would not be capable of burning that much, I can do over 100 miles when topped to full before I lose a quarter of a tank and thats round town use.
                      At the rate you say you are losing it, just start engine and look underneath the car, I would have though the leak would show itself.

                        mornin'

                        apart from leaks from teh pipes/filter etc. also check the tank, if' it's not been fully filled for a long time the weld seam can dry out and leak out. The seam on mne is about 3/4 the way up so if it was leaking & you filled it up you would lose about 1/4 of a tank almost straight away.

                        best of luck

                          bad fuel consumption

                          the first thing i checked for was the leak an there isnt anyand when it was rebuilt the tank was removed and cleaned.i also sort the assistance of a technician and he said the computer is reading everything normal. this truck is killing my pocket.what is the ECT? when i press the button all i see is a green light in the dash...there is no change in the performance of the vehicle no matter what speed im travelling at.....
