If you're going to buy a code reader, go for the Auto Enginuity. Much better code reader and most likely cheaper, esp. if you own a lot of fords.
Yes just unplug that plug on the top of the entire brass fitting. I doubt it will do much, but who knows. It honestly sounds like a weak HPOP, stuck plunger on an injector, something. Its getting wayyyyyyy too much fuel somewhere. Do the CPS too just to eliminate that. Someone with a lot more knowledge will check in in the morning. I'm not the best when it comes to diagnosis, but these are all cheap and free checks to start you off with

Black smoke means too much fuel. If the tank screen was plugged, it would starve the engine for fuel, not over-fuel it. I think you should be looking at the control part of the fuel system, and the HPOP system, like the others have said.
One more thing. Take the intake tube from the air cleaner off of the turbo and examine the compressor wheel for damage and looseness. It should not move side to side, and especially in-out. Check for oil there too. It should be dry.
Anybody had overfueling from a bad MAP sensor? Or maybe a TPS? Somehow the injectors are putting out too much fuel for the amount of air. It could be a sensor tellilng the computer to put out too much fuel, or the high pressure oil system running away. It sounds like all the injectors are firing, since he doesn't complain of a miss.
