Black smoke after adding Injector cleaner.

Evening lads on the computer at work an i cant search the site!

Just after a quick answer, Today i have been getting black smoke on accerlation, now yesterday i filled the tank (bloody expensive) and added some fuel injector cleaner.

Would this cause black smoke as it burns/cleans the injectors?

I understand the black smoke and how it arises but we dont use much injector cleaners in the CV12s at work!.

Just after a quick heads up really.

Yep its fine mate

Cheers big man!

Was hopping it was just burning off residue. Got ma Egr removal kit on route, need to sort this snail of a 110 out!

They do tend to run better after a dose of injector/fuel system cleaner - but watch your fuel filter doesn't clog up with **** out of the tank

got a fresh filter pack ready for next week, plus new crank case breather, crank case breather pipe and gasket to remove and clean the inlet manifold. its gipping inside, some decent silicone hoses are next months!

This 110 will move quickly sometime in the future!

You'll notice that the intake gasket also incorporates the exhaust gasket into a single gasket - so the manifold will have to come off to change the gasket

Here's a bit of info: Have a look what the contents of the injector cleaner is on the bottle It won't say as most of em don't but they are kerosene

New veg oil is a very good fuel system cleaner too

The gasket kit, i aquired contains all the gaskets seals for the top of the engine, just finding time between work to cary it out.

Thats tonights reading/searching after the missus is in bed sorted! along with spring lengths !

People also use a couple of litres of petrol in a tank of diesel as a fuel system cleaner - cheaper than some of the specialist cleaners

Cheers Daz. the full tank should last well into next month, and i,ve the other half of the bottle to use, but i,ll be reading up on yur suggestions, 110 is so underpowered at the moment just doing all the servicing and cheap fixes before i look at more pricer options!

Yep a good service and tweak the pump and turbo

once she gets moving and the revs increase she does start to pull, turbo is way down ma list, but i happen to have a spare in the box of bits (dont ask) if i need to replace

Have a read: http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f49/bosch-ve-injector-pump-tweaks-212921.html

thats next then, just reading up on turbo adjustment.

loads to do just need time!

oh and a very generous bank account!

If you are tweaking the turbo a turbo gauge is a good investment - so you can see what boost you are getting at different engine rpm/conditions.

Most recommend a max boost of 1 bar at the inlet manifold

we have these tools at work and some lads who are quite good with them, i,ll buy them some beer fur their time

I did mean to have a permanently fitted boost gauge so that you can monitor the boost as you drive - it allows you to spot problems early

wea yu now, that i,ll be a "nice to have" once i,ve sorted out other wee issues, along wea my wee clouds of black i still get white on initial start up. chnaged the glow plugs and it aint as bad as it was. But the plugs i removed wervery wet, wondering if i need a new relay for that now!

wet plugs are normally ones that aren't working-test on a battery.Are you getting a 12v feed onto plugs when you turn ignition on?

i changed all four when i first bough the 110 5 weeks back, 3 out of the 4 were wet.

Since fitting them she starts much easier and the white isnt as bad , well today not really noticable at all, when i,m doing the rocker gasket next week i,m going to whip them out and see if the new ones are wet!
