Default Smoke on P-60

Is there a smoker kit for the P-60SE kerostart? According to the manuel it's possible. I'm confused by the layout in the manuel as it shows a hookup which looks like it would empty the fuel tank as it is pressurized from the starter feed.

the turbine while running produces pressure on the 3mm line with very hot bypass air (this line is blocked off with the kerosene start plug use on an SE turbine), the smoke tank has to be of sufficient strength to not explode under the pressure (i used an old powermax can, it has the clunk built into it), although it works, it's not all that great a setup and the Tam smoke system is by far a much better system and a lot more practical.

Is the smoke oil injected directly into the exhaust and if so at what angle?

it's injected into the jet blast, just deep enough to completely vaporize the oil, too deep and it burns rather then vaporizes and you get low smoke, too far out and you get extra fluid down the pipe and it makes a mess.

Do you need a pipe to have smoke? In a plane with no pipe like a Boomerang, is it possible to have smoke?

Yes no problem works the same way, below pic of my install in the Boomerang with a P60
