Generally (to an extent) the more you mod a diesel the better economy you get.
I called it smoke to stay with the theme and I agree. If it was smoke it would have been burnt but it's not, it's the result of over fueling, over advancing the injection timing is another cause.
Both of them are bad news for our health.
