Hi try some diesel engine injection cleaner: quote: Partially clogged fuel injectors can cause engines to lose power, produce excessive smoke, and experience a loss in fuel economy, Injector Cleaner is specially formulated to remove deposits from the fuel system of diesel engines. look for a good branded one , the one i use is forte i think thats how its spelt, its not cheap but if you can find it use it,cost about £20 a bottle, put whole bottle into fual tank with full tank of fual :), should sort it out .

good luck
