Old/no technology, when the engineer switch the notch handle up, inside the engine there is a dwarf with a bucket who pours diesel inside the cylinders. :-))
Crushed walnuts or hot water injection is used in heavy fuel marine applications on a turbo wash, but have never heard of railroads doing this. Best cure is a(are) new turbo(s).
Still think the best one for throwing black smoke and flames was 37427 with 37175 a close second. I remember a run departing Neath up the hill on a Sunday train where 427 slipped in heavy rain, the sky went black and then followed by a second slip with a lovely pair of flames out of the exhaust... Full of dread....
@Cafferssss I thought it might be the turbo. I saw a loco of the same type which had a problem with the intercooler and it produced similar effects - albeit not quite as bad.
yes. During the time that clip was filmed the engine had a problem with its turbo charger. What was amazing was during the time, many locomotives of the same type with nothing wrong with them were being removed from traffic, yet the one in the clip was retained!!
Just shows how well there maintained

-Enviromentalist types call this "Clagtrocious / Clagtrocity"
-Personally, Diesel fumes get me higher than the finest cannabis.
-I can't get enough rich, aromatic clag !
Class 37's are real beauties.
-Distinct & original.

Why are these engines getting overfueled ?
I can understand this on cold start but not when accelerating from idle speed.
