This sounds like more of a fuel problem than a compression problem. Smoking is usually related to fuel, particularly white. You might even have "critters" (algae) in the tank. Fuel leaks, of any kind, could mean air in the fuel system.
Do the easy things first.
Check the fuel filters. When were they changed last? What do/did they look like? Have you used any Biocide? Have you checked the filter screen of the fuel tank?
Check the fuel system and let us know what you find.
