Well I adjusted all my intercooler clamps and the smoke is still there. Not as bad but still there. The truck was running pretty rough and maintanence time so I did an oil change and dumped in the tank. Smokes less and more power. Sometimes I wonder. On another note The truck has gone 250 miles and is still above the 3/4 tank mark. The new truck that got filled at the same time just knocked out 15.4 MPG. Its previous tank was 18.4. I think that there just isnt as much BTUs in this last batch of fuel. I really hope it aint the future of diesel. Its a sad day when old Delvac makes more power and burns cleaner than the stuff out of the pump.
