depends on the quality of the injectors and it only takes one to cause the smoke. do you have any type of programmer on it, or a scanner that can read the balance rates?

I have a scanner but idk if it would work to check the injectors on a diesel.

no programmer or nothing on it   probably take cory up on the scanner and atleast check it for codes  I was told a mass air flow  sensor going bad would make the computer dump more fuel  than is needed    it just weird that as im putting fuel in it  it started smoking  I mean whats the chances that a injector would fail at the same time  or  did it stir up crap in the tank   I don't know run it till something fails I guess

Different gas stations put additives in the fuel for the winter time. One of the worst stations I have found for this has been BP. Run the tank down and put fuel in it from the station that you normally use. You may have to do this a couple of times to get it all out,but it should work.



  I actually switched to speedway deisel for the winter time. I am getting better mileage and it starts easier in cold weather.
