I have a 95 Ford F-450 with a Power Stroke, that has exhaust is so rich it burns your eyes. I assume it's an injector problem. Has anybody had injector problems with they're Power Stroke? Thanks
I also have a 95 super duty powerstroke with the rich exhaust that you talk of and I haven't been able to talk my boss into it yet but I have been told that a K&N Air Filter will fix this, I do run them in my private vehicles and swear by them, they help mileage and power but the boss is an old farm boy (don't get me wrong he is the greatest and I am also an old farm boy) and stubbern as they come to new fangled aftermarket stuff. If anybody tries this and it works let me know.
This truck has the K&N filter. It also has the round exit pipe on the turbo (instead of flat), and the turbo pressure was increased to 10lbs from 8lbs. :chatter:
I just don't know what to say, Let me know what you find out My wife says I smell like smoke every time I come home after a middle of the night call and I have to take a shower so I can go to sleep.
I can't believe no one can help us with this problem after this long.
I have a carb and I have the same problem smelling like gas also... I'm glade the heater is down stairs because if I was any where near it when it ignites, I would ignite also!! This have to have long term effects on the body and mind..... 
Well before towing I was a bus mechanic for a few bus companies in the atlantic city,NJ area and for greyhound. Now if you increase the flow of pressure in the turbo that would have a affect but it sounds more like either dirty injectors or have the fuel you use tested. Too high of a sulfur content in the diesel will also make it smoke. We had ours tested every now and again to make sure the company who supplied our fuel gave us good fuel. Now you can use #1 fuel every once in awhile to clean out the system #1 fuel is primary kero. Now another thing to check is the timing. On the international diesels that Ford had the 7.3's I belive you had to count the drips it's in the repair manual. Also alot of idle time hurts diesels they carbon up, diesels love to run. My head mechanic who taught me was a old detroit diesel man which is what's in most buses, always told me not to govern the engines down to let them open as much as we dared cause a diesel is designed to run. When I first drove bus before fixing them I had the oldest bus engine, the bus itself had over 5 million mile on it and the engine had 550,000 miles it was tired. If I did a normal run the next day it had no power. So after my last run coming back to the garage on the parkway I used to kept it to the floor, it would do 85 to 90 mph, the next day it ran great, so I would run it out every day since tyhen. 
If not the bus would just fall down. 
[B] White smoke or black white is fuel not burning in the cylinder. Black too much fuel or not enough air. If it's a 95 powerstroke turbo check water in fuel, air filter,plugged exhaust or the computer someone could have changed the settings on the injector pulses. The thing that makes them so great is they have a crank angle sensor instead of an injection pump you can change not only timming when it fires but the length of the injector pulse itself. There are 2 temp sensors one for the dash and one for the computer dont let that trick you either
Hi bartgp, welcome to ITOW Talk!
Wow, great information. 
There is a great forum on Ford Diesels, http://www.thedieselstop.com/ which you can find discussions of this topic as well as many others on the Powerstroke engines.
