Blue Smoke Again, Really!!!

Im sure you guys remember me. Truck has been good since STC upgrade and mind boggling air noise that turned out be be turbo solenoid. Last couple days blue smoke started again even after warm. Today engine light came on. Had my cus do scan, No Codes, blue smoke is bad, raw fuel smell and even have a residue of unburnt fuel that appears to have leaked out of cac tube, which is new cus just replaced that. Did notice on scan ICP press running 612, revved up went well over 1,000. FICM running volts @ 48.5. So I'm confused again, i thought we had checked every possible sensor last time around, cleaned and checked virtually everything and here I am again.

Check your fuel pressure.

Nope, can only be checked manually unless you've added a fuel press sensor.

Since us mortals don't have the specially calibrated orifice, you would have to jury-rig a pressure indicator so you can see it while running WOT for bursts to check it.

Of note, he indicates white smoke, but I found/find it to be much more of a bluish white for me.
