If its blowing blue smoke its not a fuel problem blue smoke is from burning oil, either it needs a valve job or piston rings , or a burnt or cracked piston

If the engine is popping through the intake an intake valve is sticking,if through the exhaust same problem.the blue smoke is too much fuel getting into engine.the injector pump might be bad or the wrong injectors.
