Lots of black can be overheating.

White is water or coolant

Blue is lube oil

Black is too much fuel or poor combustion

White smoke is steam from overheating.  Blueish smoke is unburned fuel I was 
always told

Bill, the white smoke is in burned fuel. If it is only at idle when the engine 
is cool..I wouldn't worry about it. My yanmar smokes when cold. It is just the 
nature of the beast. I talked to a Yanmar mechanic and he said, as long as it 
is only when cold it ok. I was going to replace the injectors and high pressure 
pump. Until I heard that.

Wondering what you are trying to achieve, as I was just about to start a 
discussion on white smoke. I am thinking that has more to do with unburnt 
diesel. Was thinking about new injectors, but maybe I will try some of this 
Motor magic, and then do the injectors. It doesn't seem to be burning oil, as 
it is clean as a whistle, and not using any. 

I am already using FPPF 8+ Cetane Improver, and Lubricity Plus Fuel Power. And 
of course BioBor. 

If none of this works, I will try spraying water/Soap into the Turbo as the 
Manual suggests for carbon.
