  • There's three most-common colors for diesel exhaust smoke - black, white and blue. They all mean something different in regards to your diesel engine's operation. Brought to you by AMSOIL www.amsoil.com/

    When your engine is burning more fuel than air ,your fuel gauge will move faster too.Another reason faulty fuel rail and fuel rail pressure sensor.

    GOod video, I have a Mazda T3500 2 tonne dump truck which smokes white during idle and from my prespective I think the engine is taking air from the return fuel line.
    Is that a possible problem?

    My lb7 only smokes white when outside temps are below 5degrees Fahrenheit. Especially when I accelerate. I attribute it to condensation from the cold. Am I right? It runs and idles smooth, never smokes when temps are warmer out and it starts up with almost no starter action. She’s a great rig but the white smoke on extra cold days freaks me out

    Hi. I am having this intermittent white smoke from my diesel car. It comes out for when the engine drives for a while and stops after about 5 to 10mins. Coolant level is steady but can't seem to place why the white smoke comes and goes. Please do you have any idea?

    I get white smoke randomly only when driving only. Most likely to happen when pulling hills or hard acceleration when under a heavy load. Engine sounds fine, weak acceleration power.

      valve stem seals are going bad, it lets oil seep into the combustion chamber when it sits over night then when you start it the next day it burns the oil
