My Ford Transit camper vans DOE (MOT) is due and i have a bad injector which causing my van to give off clouds of black smoke when driving and i just would like to know is there any way to clean them i have used diesel injectors cleaners before but there no good. I was think of removing them and leaving them soak in something but what could i use and how long will i need to leave them soak for. I would buy a new set of injectors but there way to dear to buy. Thanks Tom

I disassembled and soaked my 306 dturbo injectors in Injector cleaner (the stuff your supposed to run through the engine) for 2 days once. Once reassembled and back in the car there was a little improvement, not massively better.
To clean them properly they're supposed to be ultrasonically cleaned and test by a bosch specialist.
Is it an older transit? maybe turn down the 'max load' screw on the fuel pump to lower the fuel getting into her, that'll cut the smoke and power down for the test, then turn it up again after.

It won't be a duff injector giving you black smoke, that would give blue/grey. Black smoke is unburnt fuel from either lack of air, excess fuel or overload on engine.

Black smoke is excess fuel, white is un burned, blue is oil - it's worth blanking the EGR and trying that.

You also get blue smoke from partially burnt fuel and white from vapourised but not burnt fuel ;-)
