does anybody have any experience with this then, adding acetone to the diesel, does it actually clean the injectors and does it reduce smoke on regualr basis?

thanks

The best way to clean injectors is to strip them and clean them.

Most pre common-rail diesels show this trait during night-time driving, especially when accelerating.
Seems like a hazy emission, especially when viewed through the mirrors with another car following.

Don't worry about it!

omegatoy i did read your post but i think taking the injectors out and then cleaning them and putting them back together in the wrong way is just an accident waiting to happen, yes i am looking for the easy way out but then again im not a mechanic

lol can understand that, it is a but scarey if you have never removed them before, maybe the acetone will clear them a little but nothing beats doing it the mechanical way, try it the acetone that is!!
good luck
