Help Please
We have a 1999 Ford F250 Diesel, we got some bad diesel with sludge and white smoke involved. Cleaned out the tank flushed the system and all, we also got a new fuel filter. Now the thing is runing really sluggish and is stalling out all the while blowing out blue smoke.

Did you flush it out yourself, or did a dealer or mechanic do it?
Also, are you sure it was bad diesel that started it? I'm just wondering with the blue smoke if something else didn't happen.
Check your coolant and see if there is any oil sludge in there. Also check the oil and see if you can find traces of diesel.

A Friend is a mechanic and he did it, I really appreciate the advice and I am going to give this info to him so he can check. The truck was running fine until he got the bad fuel, so I don't know about that.
