Engines don't run that way....going through three litres in 100 miles and then not.... I am simply trying to find a explainable, simple explanation with respect to your pressure light being on. Without a pressure gauge, the light is your only instrument that tells you of the health of your internal lubrication system. In other words, if you find the solution to the light you could perhaps not worry about a catastrophic failure and concentrate on the running issue . If you can find a wrench that will remove your oil plug, you could probably tell by what comes out whether engine internals have been damaged. Low fuel in tank....? I don't want to be a nag, but why isn't it FILLED with diesel by now? Some "misting" when an oil filler cap is removed, is normal but lots is not a good sign, the engine may be exhibiting signs of excessive "blow by" which indicate problems.(ie. rings) I hesitate giving advice to start going down a hill, since you seem to be saying the starter does start the truck now...only it doesn't remain running, so I'm not sure what you're going to achieve, except ending up at the bottom of a hill. Cheers
