What causes white smoke in a diesel generator?
What causes white smoke in a diesel generator?
White smoke from your diesel generator occurs because of un-burnt fuel in the exhaust gas or water in the fuel. The white smoke emitted is diesel that has not been combusted correctly in the engines cylinders or steam from the water in the fuel.
Why does my Duramax engine have white smoke at idle?
A common issue with the GM 6.6L LB7 Duramax engine is white smoke at idle. Worn and damaged injectors are often the cause however there are other causes and considerations that should be looked at prior to injector replacement. 1. Remove IGN 1 relay. 2.
Why do I have white smoke coming out of my injector?
Other causes of white smoke include lack of compression, or water/coolant entering the combustion chamber. BLACK SMOKE. Black smoke indicates excess fuel is being injected into the combustion chamber and/or not enough air is present. This can be caused by worn/leaking injectors or restrictions in the air intake system.
Where does the coolant go in a Duramax?
1. Coolant may enter the cylinder from a damaged seal between the fuel injector sleeve and the cylinder head. The injector sleeve is often dislodged during an injector removal. 2. Remove the glow plugs and the IGN 1 relay and pressurize the cooling system to 15-17 PSI. 3.
Is it possible for a fuel filter to produce white smoke?
Yes. If the fuel is contaminated with water or some other foreign material it is possible that it will produce white smoke. The best way to test the fuel is to pull the filter and put it in a clear glass. Wait a few minutes and see if there is any separation. Can air in fuel cause white smoke? Yes. This is another common cause of white smoke.

What causes blue smoke to come out of engine?
Blue smoke is normally the result of engine oil entering & burning inside the combustion chamber. This is most often caused by low compression, or worn piston rings. But what we see more often than not are issues related to worn injectors.
