What causes diesel engines to smoke?
Black smoke from a diesel engine is caused by too much fuel in the air-fuel mixture, also called a "rich" mixture. This is generally caused by worn out fuel injectors. Fuel is injected into diesel engines through very small holes (approximately Ø0.7mm) under very high pressure (over 1200 bar) in order to get good atomization. As the fuel flows. the hole erode, getting larger. Over time, the holes get large enough to let too much fuel through. Usually this happens in an over-the road truck around 100,000 miles.
