Not getting enough fuel to turn on turbo
I have at 1993 d250 that i think is not gettin enough fuel, to turn the turbo on. It starts up ok, runs ok, when i hit it, gray smoke appears. Just lost about 5mpg, change filters, check wheels in turbo, no leaks in VE Pump outside. Truck was gettin 22mpg, now its gets 17 and the turbo seems not to kick in. Could somebody possible tell me what to look at, im a Newbie. I USE TO HIT IT AND BLACK SMOKE WOULD APPEAR, NOW GRAY SMOKE APPEARS.

you mean spool the turbo?...... if you think your not getting enough fuel, and you havent done anything diffrent latley.... your lift pump may be bad leaving it up to your injection pump to pull the fuel from the tank.... of corse this is all if you havent already replaced your lift pump.

If you are sure it isn't an air restriction, then look at the fuel system.
Has the timing slipped?
Are you sure there is fuel pressure.
I have seen algea form in the tank and plug the sock filter in the tank. NAPA and others sell ageacide. If you think this is it, remove the fuel line at the filter and try to blow threw it into the tank. Remove the cap and have someone listen for bubbles.

Yes they can. The keys have been known to wear and eventually shear between the gear and the shaft, most often on the crank. But the only way you can find it is to remove the timing cover.
