If you have a broken or leaking exhaust system , soot can collect in the muffler , after sealing the exhaust and starting the motor you can make a huge cloud of black smoke. With an extreme temperature change from hot to cold when you start the motor the next day all the soot breaks loose and makes a huge cloud of black smoke. If you drive with a plugged air filter , you run the engine under in an overly rich condition and can leave a trail of back smoke. If you let your diesel sit and idle for a long time when you take off you can create a lot of smoke. If you are using a low grade of diesel fuel you can also have large amounts of soot.
Mean there might be fuel leaking into the engine or the air to deisel ratio is and not atomised correctly. the main causes are normally is the air filter that isnt allowing air into the engine. Fuel filter can also be at fault not allowing enough fuel in or allowing to much in the engine sometimes. This causes the chamber to burn it out. Fuel injector if fualty could allow to much fuel or not enough. My personal suggestion would be to run fuel injector cleaner first, then change the air filter. If that doesn't fix it change the fuel filter. I would go the cheapest route first. Is is prolly something simple
