2001 F-250 7.3 not a puff of smoke to be found, even on start up! Glad to hear that's a good thing! 😊

I wanted blue smoke so I switched to the oil on display in your video....worked perfect

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.

Saw a old Freightliner with puffy white smoke coming out of the exhaust. Loud ticking noise. Wanted to let the driver know he may need a new head soon.

I got white smoke today on my diesel and now my exhaust tips look frothy. Would anyone know whats going on?

I like the black smoke for my Volvo 740DL with an D24 motor with Turbo :(. You can call the engine D24Tic if it has an turbo or an supercharger in it.

Not really a “problem” if it’s black smoke

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?

I just rebuilt my truck and when I’m idling there is a little bit of white smoke but when I get on the gas it gets lots of black smoke

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.
Been going on for over a year now, still haven’t figured out the problem 😢

no mentioning of bad timing for black smoke

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

My renault trafic 163 k, ,has blue smoke after sitting overnight, , how do you diagnose if its cylinder based or turbo seals based, there is a spooling noise from the turbo like a small jet engine ? Many thanks 😊

I have a brand new 22KVA (96A) Diesel generator and it’s blowing white smoke from the exhaust!! any idea why?
is it possible because i’m loading very little on the generator? like 10-20%!
