Thanx Dno ;
I was thinking about your two washers in one hole when I saw none in one of my holes....
As you said : it hadn't leaked before and the sun was going down so I torqued that b*tch down and called it a day .
I occasionally run straight Dino Diesel Fuel , not often because I keep getting tiny bits of crud in the clear plastic intake screen....
My old 240D's engine has maybe 200# in # 1 cylinder and runs on three holes at idle if I let it , shakes like an earthquake (why I turned the idle up to 850 RPM) but NEVER any visible smoke so I doubt very much the additives are causing the smoking .
I bought this car as a non running junker , some stupid hippies in The People's Republic Of Santa Monica ran it on whatever cheap crap they could find and lost the fuel filler cap , no worries , right ? .
I you'd been here a few years back you'da chuckled at my struggles with it , once or twice the car DIED IN TRAFFIC from lack of fuel due to clogged intake filter .
If you've ever worked on very old and neglected junk you'll know that once water gets into a system it never leaves until you take it out ~ this one tiny droplet of water I recently found may well have been inside the IP for several years , the inside of the clear plastic intake screen used to fill up with water and black crud.....
This is why I want to replace the IP entirely , I just like to learn so I'm teaching my self as I go along
.
So then , NO ONE knows what's the deal with the different delivery valves I posted photos of ? .

Great! re the missing? copper washer, when I found mine mis assembled ,
(two washers in one, none in the other), the one without didn't leak. The one with two did. You should try to look at it from the side (best you can) to see if
it's screwed in deeper. My thought is the spring inside will be tighter if the
threaded part is in further. May run fine but not be "right".
Another thought regarding fuel. You have been running with additives and smoking, I wonder what you would get on straight diesel. On fuel-water,
from the filling station? Water in their tanks? Condensation in yours? I would
fill a dry portable container next fill up to check.
Everyone likes shiny turds!
