    When your engine is burning more fuel than air ,your fuel gauge will move faster too.Another reason faulty fuel rail and fuel rail pressure sensor.

    GOod video, I have a Mazda T3500 2 tonne dump truck which smokes white during idle and from my prespective I think the engine is taking air from the return fuel line.
    Is that a possible problem?

    My lb7 only smokes white when outside temps are below 5degrees Fahrenheit. Especially when I accelerate. I attribute it to condensation from the cold. Am I right? It runs and idles smooth, never smokes when temps are warmer out and it starts up with almost no starter action. She’s a great rig but the white smoke on extra cold days freaks me out

    Hi. I am having this intermittent white smoke from my diesel car. It comes out for when the engine drives for a while and stops after about 5 to 10mins. Coolant level is steady but can't seem to place why the white smoke comes and goes. Please do you have any idea?

    I get white smoke randomly only when driving only. Most likely to happen when pulling hills or hard acceleration when under a heavy load. Engine sounds fine, weak acceleration power.
