That was one of the things that I was wondering. I told him to
take the strainer in the bottom of the tank loose and drain some
fuel into a clean pan and see if there is any water in there.
Haven't heard back from him yet.

Bad fuel?
How long before this happened did he last fill up?

A friend has an 82 300D which suddenly lost power while going down the

Won't start lots of white smoke coming out the tailpipe that smells
like unburned diesel. He did a compression check and says it's OK. I
forgot to ask what exactly it is. He has replaced all the fuel filters
and bled the injectors. Get fuel with no bubbles when the lines are
opened while trying to start. Says the fuse on the glow plugs is good.
What gets me is the sudden loss of power running down the road.
Only thing I can think of is the timing chain but I would think that
that would mess up the valves and effect the compression. Can the
injection pump jump timing by itself without the valves timing jumping?
Any clues?
