Drive it as hard as you can to blow the **** out, (that is if you are a driver that tends to be a bit lightfooted most of the time).
Diesels can soot up a bit if you pussy foot about.
If you do that and it cures it, all well and good.
If something breaks then you might just have found the cause......
Failing that, chop it in for a V8 and gas it, if that smokes then you KNOW you got a problem.

in a word no, you can augment the fueling with gas but you cant replace diesel with it

Some diesels do chuck out black smoke when you put your foot down. We've got a Sherpa with a Ford direct injection motor that always has, from new. Black smoke is unburnt fuel or, as said above, general dislodged crud. Could be a choked air filter, could be an injection problem. It's unlikely to be serious unless it fails the MoT. You might find that using BP ultimate or bio-diesel improves things, as they burn cleaner.
