Air leak in the fuel line? All the lines are pressurised to some degree.
Do you mean it was sucking air on the tank to pump side?
Because its a diesel and you have white smoke and a misfire you need specialist help to identify which injector is playing up. White smoke is usually excess fuel or incomplete firing on that cylinder. Toyota lumps are very reliable so get some help, a good diesel mechanic would have a clip on tester that would check each cylinder.
At 2002 I'm surprised there is a fuel problem but you don't give mileage so an injector is the best guess.

Yes when plugs do not fire properly it can smoke.

Just letting you know that white is water, blue is oil and black is gas coming out of the exhaust.

You might want to watch your coolant level. Open your radiator, fill it to full, and start the truck. If bubbles form, you might have a broken head gasket. Also, check to see how your water seperator and fuel filter are looking. But it sounds kind of like a head gasket.

You may have a blown head gasket.

give me more info about your plug, is it black by oil or black powder from gas ?
in the other hand, smoke white is a motor cold on winter, smoke blue is oil inside motor, smoke black is gas not burned,
so be shure exactly what color is...

Sounds like you have a blown head gasket - white smoke = coolant. Pull plugs and look for "steam cleaned plug" or for coolant in oil - looks milky.

Well if you have white smoke when reving up engine then its not smoke its STEAM as you have been lossing coolant by the sound of it (yes) or no,,,,IF yes then you have done a head gasket or something else which
is letting in coolant to the cylinders and when it fires it blowes it out the hot exhaust and causes steam ,, as the only other way to get white smoke could be burning brake fluid/ or kerro.
So does your engine get hot /loosing coolant/missing when running ///any of these will cause your problem.
Let me know how you get on ,, Ron

Check the EGR and the fuel pressure regulator.These are very common culprits.
