One of my 6.5's, the 1994 I think fogs like it hates mosquitos, it used to clear up after a while but not anymore. What gives.

whatnot 03-17-2005, 11:09 PM What color fog? dkubek 03-18-2005, 12:44 AM What color fog? Yes, the color of your foggin' oil is very important. white, blue, black. Each one is a different symptom for diesels Chicago TDP 03-18-2005, 01:16 AM White = Coolant Blue = Oil Black = fuel Is this correct? I think that is how it goes with diesels. steve-r 03-18-2005, 01:45 AM Blue at startup can also be unburnt fuel can't it? gmctd 03-18-2005, 07:20 AM White vapor in winter climes is normal - unignited fuel, advanced timing and water vapor. Black is unburned fuel, reached combustion temps, but fire went out before all fuel was comsumed - usually insufficient O2, and\or late inj timing zsqure 03-18-2005, 07:00 PM It's not black, thats for sure. So that leaves blue or white wouldn't it be unburnt fuel if it was white? I cannot detect an antifreeze odor, does that rule out coolant? How does bluish white hit you. I have a lunched motor from a '95 could I just swap injectors? Right now it's parked, I can't very well sell it the way it is. dkubek 03-18-2005, 07:56 PM It's not black, thats for sure.

I really don't think, from what you are describing that it is time for engine swapping. Give us a little more information. White could also be air in the fuel system steiner43511 03-18-2005, 11:23 PM massilon? hell i go to school in wooster!!! does the truck get up to operating temperature? i have seen it where a thermostat was stuck open and the truck never warmed up, and this produced excessive white smoke. just a thought. | ||
