How do I stop my diesel engine from blowing smoke?
How to stop diesel exhaust smoke is as simple as… Adding the CRD Fuel Enhancer and the FTC Decarbonizer directly into the fuel tank when refuelling and adding the Flushing Oil Concentrate to the Engine oil.
Why do I have white smoke coming out of my diesel engine?
Un-burned fuel travels through the exhaust system & exits out the tailpipe which will produce a scent of rich, un-burnt diesel. This causes white smoke. Other causes of white smoke include lack of compression, or water/coolant entering the combustion chamber. Check the fuel injectors. They may have worn out. Replacing the injectors will reduce it.
What does it mean when your car exhaust emits black smoke?
When the exhaust emits black smoke, it means that gasoline has flooded the combustion chambers and it is not fully ignited. You will need to check for clogged fuel filters, malfunctioning fuel injectors, and sensors.

Condensation that accumulates inside the exhaust pipes, converter and mufflers can produce a puff of white smoke upon diesel engine start-up. In very cold temperatures, the heated exhaust can freeze into minute fuel droplets when exiting the exhaust and produce a more prolonged emission of white smoke for a very short period of driving time.
