Still not running AHHHHHHHHHH HELP!!!!!!
petergalileo:
Grey smoke on a diesel normally means lack of fuel. White smoke is water, black smoke too much fuel, blue smoke is oil.
If smoke is grey its normally lack of fuel. Blocked filter, kinked fuel feed pipe, very slight air leak in fuel feed pipes.
Its been a long time since I was a bus mechanic but I am pretty sure when we had some smartass driver put sugar in the fuel tank that produced white smoke too. I dont suppose some stupid kids done it to you have they ?

If so you may have damaged the springs in the fuel injection pump.
Been there done that.

if you checked obviouse take a look under the four bolts holding top of the fuel pump take off take diaphram out check position befor mark it pull out check for wear on it also check that the spring is ok and if you can get somethink like a cotton bud and have a good clean down there put back the way found ..is only a guess but keep hunting you will find it soon :D good luck :lol:
