Re: black smoke
dont look in the mirror works
blank off egr valve.
wynns make an additive that you put direct into your fuel filter to clean it all out, worked for me before.

Re: black smoke
Try blanking off the egr, Allans sell the blanking plates, this is what it looks like inside the air intake thanks to the egr, this was 18 months after blanking the egr & after scooping out a finger full of gunk

This is Harry's old bongo's air inlet manifold

Is it any wonder they smoke occasionally?

You can't polish a turd - but you can roll it in glitter.

Re: black smoke
Mine has decided not to puff black smoke anymore......... since I started using Veg oil....
Mine only used to puff the black smoke under load/heavy acceleration before the Veg oil....
