A turbocharged, two-stroke cycle main propulsion diesel engine on your fishery research vessel is emitting gray to black smoke excessively from the stack. Upon comparing the measured air box pressure against a reference engine which is producing a clear stack, the measured air box pressure is determined to be too low. Which of the following conditions would most likely be the cause for the relatively low air box pressure?
