No. Black smoke is created when your truck is running Rich meaning that you are getting to much fuel the black smoke is just simply unburned fuel

What is the difference between a cummins n14 red top and a black top?
The red top engines left the factory rated at 435 horsepower or more (up to 525). The black ones were typically 330 - 400 horsepower.
What are the defferences between dessel and petrol engine?
Petrol & Gas engines are spark ignited engines where as diesel engines are compression ignited engines. Petrol engines works with explosion of fuel air mixture due to spark from spark plug inside the cylinder. Diesel engines works with combustion of fuel air mixture due to compression, compressed mixture attains a very high temperature which exceeds the flash point of diesel and starts burning inside the cylinder and the hot gases after burning of fuel misture exerts force on piston which makes the diesel engines work. Diesel engines are highly efficient than petrol engines.
What is a red top n14 cummins?
The "red top" refers to the red valve covers, used on N14 Cummins engines, factory set at 460 or more horsepower. It was used to indicate a "high horsepower" engine. Lower horsepower engines had black valve covers. In the later 1990s, the 435 horsepower settings also got red ones.
Your 306 hdi is giving off black smoke on boost but driving fine?
this will happen on all diesel engines (if its going to make reasonable power) its basically soot/carbon from the exhaust and unburnt diesel. on some high power turbo diesel cars there is proper plumes of black smoke. you only need be worried if there is blue smoke while on boost as this means the turbo is shot. but black = good
What truck engine offers more pulling power gas or diesel?
Here's the rule: Gas goes faster, but diesel hauls heavier loads. There is much more energy in diesel fuel than in gasoline. Diesel engines can be hard to start in colder weather, and they leave plumes of black smoke in the air, sometimes.
Why petrol cost is high and diesel cost is low?
That is not necessarily the case nowadays. Diesel fuel was much cheaper because there were far fewer cars with diesel engines. Since many more cars have diesel engines now the various governments increased the tax on diesel fuel to increase the revenue it receives. As did the fuel companies to to a far lesser extent. Diesel fuel is almost always higher than gasoline. Reason being is the EPA regulations a few years back regulated that diesel be made much cleaner that it was in the past. It costs more to refine this clean diesel. Have you noticed that you do not see black smoke bellowing from diesel trucks anymore.
What is dark miniral used for fuel?
Either crude oil (which is black until refined into diesel and petrol, etc). Or coal that can be burnt in steam engines and coal-fired power stations, etc.
What can cause black smoke from exhaust only when starting a car?
Black smoke from diesel engines on starting and/or running tends to mean there is fuel leaking into the engine, or the fuel mix is incorrect and not atomised correctly. The main causes are normally a nakered air filter that isn't letting enough clean air into the engine to mix with the diesel, a blocked fuel filter, which is either not letting enough fuel in, or in some cases, a faulty fuel filter which is letting too much diesel into the engine, and causing black smoke due to excess burning. The last cause could be the engine's fuel injector which should normally create a fine mist spray of diesel to be burnt. if its faulty it could either not be spraying enough fuel into the chamber, or too much.
Is it normal for a diesel to blow black smoke?
Only on cold startup (diesel engine) it can be normal to get little black smoke, as long as it doesn't continue. If it continues after warm up that could indicate engine wear. I'd recommend a mechanical inspection. The newer common rail diesels though are generally cleaner burning than older engines.
Does a diesel car pollute less than a normal car?
It depends on the age of the car. Since 2006, diesel cars are cleaner than gas cars due to federally required smog control equipment and the introduction of the TDI engine. Also, diesel engines emit soot, or heavy particulate matter, like black smoke, that is now nearly 98% removed by control equipment. While gas cars emit hydro carbons, NOX and other chemicals that aren't quite cleaned yet. Diesel engines have been tuned to burn fuel more efficiently than before, thereby producing less pollution, while gas engines rely on after combustion equipment to remove the pollutants.
Why is a 2006 Ford F-350 diesel blowing black smoke for about 30 seconds when it is started?
its a diesel, you will see black smoke alot.
What makes a duramax Diesel Smoke?
Black smoke, from any diesel, is the result of partially burned fuel. Overfueling will cause black smoke.
