White smoke is caused by unburnt diesel fuel leaving the combustion chamber and entering the exhaust system. When white smoke occurs at cold start and then disappears as the engine warms up, the most common causes are fouling deposits around piston rings and/or cylinder glazing. That’s not a good sign! Usually the smoke problems your engine is exhibiting can be solved by using FTC Decarbonizer, Flushing Oil Concentrate, Cleanpower (or ULS Diesel Enhancer). These products are proven to be highly effective at fixing most exhaust smoke problems, especially the particular problem of white smoke on cold starts. Find out more...

“… the white exhaust smoke has cut right back to almost nothing now..”

“… the engine is certainly running much better, smoother and quieter...”

My 1978 Blue Bird Wanderlodge had been having a white exhaust smoke problem for quite a long time, and it was slowly getting worse, and it just ran rough. It didn’t miss, and the power seemed normal. It has the Cat 3208 engine, with only 100,000 original miles. It sits a lot, I don’t drive it as much as I’d like. About a year ago I had the fuel pump rebuilt. Anyway, I bought the Stop Smoke Diesel Pack, and started using the Diesel Enhancer right away. I then used the Oil Flush. After driving for just a little while the white exhaust smoke has cut right back to almost nothing now, and the engine is certainly running much better, smoother and quieter. I’ve started adding the FTC Decarbonizer to the fuel also, and I expect it will continue to improve even more. Many thanks for these great products, they’ve honestly helped a lot.

2019 Dodge Ram problems resolved

I got FTC Decarbonizer and AW10 Antiwear for my 2019 Ram 3500 Cummins 6.7 with a 6-speed Aisin transmission. I tow a fifth-wheel trailer hauling 40-foot shipping containers from site to site, anywhere from Utah to Colorado and every place in between. The main problems were it would blow white exhaust smoke for a while on cold morning starts and was noticeably getting low on power. The other problem was it would slam hard down into 4th gear from 5th. After using the Decarbonizer in the fuel, pretty soon the white exhaust smoke completely stopped, and I noticed a lift in power, especially through the mountains. And the 4th gear slam also stopped with the AW10 in the transmission. Everything is really smooth now, the engine runs nice and smooth, idles nice, and the transmission is running cooler and smoother changes. The products have made a real difference. Thanks.
