Just got a 1986 diesel Golf ----Need Help!!!

hmmm so the diesel uses some of the fuel and sends the rest back to the tank? could that account for the 1 gallon tank going down so fast?? I'm hoping so because other than emptying the 1 gallon jug very quickly it was running great.

in a nutshell........yes

After sitting for a few years, i'm figuring that I better replace the timing belt along with all the other belts. Is is hard to do? I have the chilton book but it doesn't show much. the pdf file i was sent doesn't show any diesels either.   Anyone have any pics of the timing belt replacement process?
thanks
