    Blueish white smoke when accelerating

    Others will give advice also, but id check for low coolant, low oil, dirty air filter? have you had the truck long? how many miles on it? You could try,( if coolant and oil are good) running a cleaner in the fuel for a while and see if it helps..

    Electric Fuel Pump

    I may be way off here, but i think most "in tank" pumps are for EFI. that would mean, hi pressure. or at least more than our idis need.
