Mark,
What colour is the smoke?
Have you checked the fuel filters?
There can be a drop out over time, even from washed biodiesel, which could contribute to your problem. At our meeting on Sunday, a member brought in samples of biodiesel and a dark substance from the fuel tank, which accumulated over time, resulting in a 'failure to proceed' of his daughter's car. After towing it home, the IP was removed as it was not pumping fuel to the injectors. A substance had entered the IP and it had to be cleaned. The IP mechanic said it was very hard to remove and did not respond to the usual solvents they use.
The samples provided were not water soluble and they remained oily but sticky.
Do you know where we could get the samples tested to identify the 'drop out' and suggest methods to prevent it / clean it up should it occur.
