No black smoke. Smokes for about 1 minute on a cold start but even then not really noticeable. More grey and diesel smelling. The odour being more noticeable. Gone within a minute as said.
I'll check the pipes again. Pretty sure no balancer though and returns are correct however the tanks and piping are pretty damn inaccessible. I'll have to use my endoscope. God forbid the tanks ever have to come out. It will be a power saw job.
Btw. I have averaged a seasonal fuel burn of roughly 2.7 litre per mile on a 70/30 plane/hull speed split. 7 ton lwl 34ft. If this isn't 30% more than expected then it may well be a fuel routing issue
