Loss of power 00 3L TD Patrol

I dont suppose its a good idea to post the actual service station/s used but if they were reputable sites I couldnt see a prob with the fuel.
However as im in the fuel industry there are operators out there that add more heating oil to the winter mix than is recommended I know that in the southern highlands the company I work for delivers a 50/50 blend of deisel/heating oil( alpine deisel )with no apparent problems. This could cause a very small power loss due to the difference in flash point from regualar low sulpher deisel, But with these electronic engine control sensors it could two fold the power loss. Some so called bodgey operators will try to get away with some low acts just to save a dollar.
Do yourself a favour as Im sure you do and keep with one fuel company if possible, not only for peice of mind but if the worst happens(fuel pump etc) than at least you have proof of purchase to assist in a fight.

What sort of heavy fuel consumption figures do you get?

Recall? LMAO! if they werent doing a recall for engines blowing up left right and center, 5th gears, etc it would probably have to be every single unit sold for them to consider a recall...

Yeah our work car had air flow sensors and EGR's go, the EGR still isn't 100%. Power loss and then ECU light. It was with them for weeks, they fixed the ECU light comming on and the power loss is no where near as bad as it was but it is still there from time to time. (I reckon they just unplugged the ECU light!! LMAO).

Hello Wizard,
Diesel contains a percentage of wax. If cold enough this wax comes out of solution into "lumps".
Winter or Alpine mix foms these "lumps" at a lower temperature than Summer mix. From what I can remember of how it was explained to me, it'd need to be consistently colder than -4 to trouble you.

For what it's worth, Diesel has a Cetane rating where Petrol has an Octane rating.
