I could not buy "Chem Tech" last week and so got some "Morey's". Smokes worst than ever now. chem Tech seemed to keep it under control to some degree. Does anyone have the solution to the smoke screen behind my GU 2.8 Nissan?

Jim,I hate to say it but I reckon your problem has been self inflicted.If you have been using fuel additives you have probably disintegrated the gasket in your diesel pump , reducing its pumping pressure and the efficiency of the injectors.Chem Tech is a very strong solvent which dissolves resins etc from injectors but also attacks rubber seals.
check the top plate of your diesel pump for any dampness. rectify this and change filters regularly and use good quality brand name fuels and your smoking problem will improve.
