Good answers. I know I don't know much about diesels.
Those new nozzles made power like crazy. Smoked like crazy. I had to
play with my IQ to fool the pump into squirting less. Different
performance chip helped clean up the left over smoke but the power
went down a lot.
I have seen some posts about crummy spray patterns where instead of a
misty spray from 3-5 holes it comes up in a stream which I gather
causes tons of problems.
Most of the folks I buy hay from have pretty good running tractors.
Every so often I see and smell a real stinky one. I bet you may be
correct that cleaning the air cleaner might help. If they were making
hay that filter is probably clogged up.
The water vaporizing is interesting.
Thanks for filling in some of the blanks for me.
No problem... One of my companies makes aftermarket parts for diesel
engines, so I've spent a lot of time with 'em. Having several diesel
trucks helps too...
It is always true that generally speaking black smoke equals wasted
fuel. You may get more power (if the black smoke is due to overfueling
and not a restricted air intake) but the cost of that additional power
in increased fuel consumption is really high.
