Mine was smoking embarassingly bad Some folks here can relate to this!

If your tank is infested with slimy fungus than fresh bio diesel isn't going to clear it up. You should also add Biobor after the cleaning to just be safe. Some prefer to clean out the tank using Biobor and a dozen or so prefilters and a few main filters without removing the tank. Personally doing it the right way is much more rewarding. It is such a pleasure to watch the car run now without smoking and the prefilter full of clear honey colored fuel.

You do have a prefilter on your car now right? What color is the fuel in there?
