All diesels do that, because, the engine is working harder, so more fuel is added to compensate. Black smoke is also an indication of fuel burning in the exhaust manifold, which is also bad. Lots of black smoke means your working the engine hard harder than you should. Find out what kind of

Hi Teoman ; A correctly operating diesel should not put out lots of black smoke. Of course a little is normal. During starting and under load it is normal to see increasing black smoke. In your case, if the black smoke is only when starting and going up a hill, it may be normal. I have

Interesting idea but... you get black smoke for the reason you describe because the engine is tuned for emissions under 'normal' operating conditions not high load. When under high load it over fuels. Adding oxygen to the mix would help but how are you going to do it so its not there all the
