This is what you need for those pesky tailgaiters.

 You should be able to see it now. My 300D did that one cold morning when the GPs went out, and the result of cranking for about 15 seconds resulted in almost that much smoke when it finally cranked over!

That train looks like a Volvo diesel I drove a couple of weeks ago...

A great smoker pic. One of GE's model C40-8, almost as good as an ALCO !

That photo looks like it has a problem with turbo output pressure, leak? causing severe overfuelling. They would probably get more power from it by reducing the power setting.

Our diesels are odd, my dad's always has visible smoky exhaust when its sitting idling, but when you drive there's not much if any visible smoke, even when reving it real high. Mine idles with invisible exhaust, but pours out the smoke like no tomorrow when I go roaring onto the freeway or from a standing start. Last week I couldn't see the cars behind me when I merged onto the freeway, I ran it to 70 in 3rd gear....I could see two thick streams in the side mirror coming from each tailpipe
People were all changing lanes behind me
