Anybody have an idea as to what I could run through my fuel system to unstick an injector? One of them is sticking on, pretty much all the time I think, I have good deal of whtie smoke out the stacks that smells like raw fuel. Looks like a 6.7 thats trying to regen without cats. I am going to run some biodiesel through it once I run the tank down, but I want to see if anybody has other ideas. I do run Power Service in pretty much every tank.

mine started Sunday night, next morning same thing, but once I get on the road it clears right up, dealer couldn't make it happen but told me the starscan showed two events that had small trace of water in fuel, mind you I had no codes or water light.

they took a fuel sample and it came back negative. well it did it one more morning start up so I went back and they sold me some BG 44K and a quart of fuel injector cleaner also BG brand thats made to run through their machine and told me to pour both qaurts in a full tank... outcome no more problems so far...changing to a 2 micron CAT filter this weekend.

More than likely though, the damage is done and is a matter of time before mine gose bad.
