Massive cloud of soot under heavy acceleration

[Jimmyboyjr4]

Short story is I misjudged a distance at a T intersection had to accelerate heavily, massive cloud of soot was shot from the exhaust the car behind me had to slow down haha. Is this a problem? Or?

[threedogs]

nah just a gut full of fuel IMO

[Jimmyboyjr4]

Yeah, it didnt seem to happen again for the minute or two afterward I had to go home. Really have to make sure my driving style is suitable for a Diesel engine actually, use to my daily driver.

Not so much my patrol, but my D22 from brand new, used to leave thick black fog behind me where people literally had to slow down. It was so bad, guys at work were doing their best to leave before me so they don't have to choke on the fumes after I took off down the road, and especially the ring road on ramp when you hammer it to achieve the 100.
All was good after I blocked the EGR though. lol

Mine doesn't often smoke that's why I was asking. Just one massive cloud haha.

That cloud on to a Prius and I would of crashed from laughing
