What causes white smoke when I start my diesel engine?
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...
“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.“
