Black smoke is excessive fuel
Black smoke form a diesel engine is just unburnt fuel.
Black smoke is the most common smoke emitted from diesel engines. It indicates poor and incomplete combustion of the diesel fuel. There are many causes, including…

  • Incorrect timing

  • Dirty or worn injectors

  • Over-fuelling

  • Faulty turbocharger (ie not enough air to match the fuel)

  • Incorrect valve clearance

  • Incorrect air/fuel ratio

  • Low cylinder compression (eg sticking piston rings or worn components)

  • Dirty air cleaner

  • Restricted induction system (eg system too small or kinked inlet piping)

  • Other engine tune factors

  • Poor quality fuel

  • Excessive carbon build up in combustion and exhaust spaces

  • Cool operating temperatures


The most common cause of among diesels is the injection pump being set too rich.
Black smoke is usually too much fuel or not enough air It may be as simple as a dirty air filter. Start with the easy stuff first. Good luck!
