white smoke on startups...

[BeetOls]

For a long time now, my pickup is puffing out some white smoke (only visible pagnatapat sa araw on mornings and sa headlights when viewing from my rear view mirror when driving at night. hehehe...the thought of having it top overhauled has been in and out of my mind thinking na baka valve seals na ang problem...btw, nawawala sha once normal operating temp. is reached.

again, im wondering, pagnakakakita ako ng mga crosswinds, tingin ko ok pa ang ride ko kse most of them, even the latest version na sportivo do this (spews out white smoke) and mas madami pa nga kse sa akin...normal ba ito with isuzus? ive been driving mine for 5 years now pero 10yrs old na sha, alaga naman...i don't think dumadami yung amount ng smoke, very minimal if ever it had....just reached 200k kms on its odo and d naman nagbabawas ng langis.

thanks again!=)

black smoke in diesel= normal
white smoke in diesel=very bad

nakikita mo ba kung may white smoke pag umaarangkada ka?kapag ni rev mo?

pag sa UMAGA lang na bagong start, most prolly moist lang.

pero kapag tanghali mo na unang start at meron pa nyan, pa check mo na.

[BeetOls]

pag galing sa very slow moving traffic tapos sabay arangkada, i can see some on my sidemirror pero 2nd gear and up wala na...same applies when taking off from a red traffic light.

hmm...i'm sure a compression test would likely answer my questions..just wanted to get some opninions here as i see a lot of the newer model crosswinds do this...=)

[jagxtrm]

nangyari din sa akin yan bro beetols.

my friend told me na baka dahil merong moisture sa fuel tank ... and moisture can cause white smoke daw.

nawala yng white smoke after running 10 kph ... akala ko dahil naubos na lahat ng moisture sa tank ... yun pala dahil paubos na ang water sa loob ng radiator (and full naman yng nasa reserve)

better check ur cooling system, especially sa mga hoses! don't forget also to check oil cooler hose (beside the oil filter). pag nabutas yun, cguradong ubos ang tubig ng radiator mo.

compression test --- ok lng, basta free... but seriously, this will not answer the 'white smoke' problem.

HTH :D

[BeetOls]

*jagxtrm -- thanks for the advice pero i regularly check radiator level and its always been the same...nabawasan sha last month, filled it up and ngayon i never see it go down. hmm...im wanting the compression kase parang gusto ko na ipa top overhaul this weekend...just so i know where to start from, kase worn out valve seals can also be the culprit.

beetols.. ipa tune up mo sa isuzu casa... try using 15w40 grade oil din... dont use malapot na oil... and change ur fuel filter regularly...
white smoke wen engine is cold is normal.... its not a bad sign.. malamig pa naman ur engine kaya ganun... unless like mga jeepney dat kahit naka stop umuusok ng itim... black smoke is also emitted wen u depress on the pedal hard coz some of the diesel wont get burned in the chamber... but kung parati na nag black smoke.. ders something wrong sa engine mo... hav it checked.... yup new crosswind also emits white smoke wen starting a cold engine but mawawala rin if the temp rises.... and try running it in a highway inorder for the engine to make buga lahat ng naipon na carbon deposit...

How about this:
Every time I start my engine early in the morning, it spews out black smoke for a few minutes, then it slowly turns into greyish white as the temp goes up. Normal din ba to?
Btw, I'm using biodiesel.
Also, kala ko mag-iiba amoy ng usok pag gumagamit ng BD kagaya ng sabi ng iba, bakit sakin mabaho parin, typical diesel fume.

[jarhead]

psalm.. hindi yan normal.. maybe its because of the biodiesel u used.. i know someone who own an automatic XUV used biodiesel but stopped coz der was something napansin nya dat wasnt normal of the car.. it myt be din wala tune up engine mo or try ibyahe mo n go hi speed...

[Psalm136:2]

Whoa! Ganun ba yun? I'm using BD from SeaOil, mixing it with Petron diesel. I'm using the recommended blend of 200mL for every 20L of fuel. Speaking of tune up, I just got mine serviced (casa maintained) about a month ago. Also madalas ko din syang patakbuhin above 80kph sa SLEX, wala naman akong napapansing kakaiba, except that typical slow acceleration ng xwind from full stop. Should I have it checked? Or should I stop using BD?

Isuzu Crosswind? Black smoke in the morning is normal. Heck, ours started doing that at less than ten thousand kilometers.

It's possible that a carbon clean or exhaust cleaning will help with the smoke, though.

And usually, black smoke will go away with the next tune up. Maybe you're overdue.

I guess I'll try to have the exhaust cleaned.

try using multigrade oil na 15w40 or lower... kung meron synthetic blend na ganun ang grade.. dats even better... have tried using 20w50.. umuusok ang crosswind... mejo malapot na kc... n hirap ang engine pakinggan...

[Djerms]

Dmax ko ganyan din at start-up. Its normal dont worry.

[BeetOls]

hehehe...nabuhay ah.

Mine is still doing the same...kaya i never park it with my muffler facing the road...laging paatras kase you'll see the haze during cold starts talaga...although like i said, it goes away once hot.

[speed unlimited]

It is normal in the diesel engine . When the engine get hot the smoke lessen .

[jarhead]

hav it checked sa casa... let dem know ur using biodiesel... let dem check ur fuel quality too... as for as i know, wala pa car company who acredited the use of biodiesel on our cars... maybe its popular in europe coz dey car companys hav engineered their engine to run and operate with BD in the fuel systemm for us here hindi pa kc mamahal ang cost of production ng engine, so meaning tataas din ang price.. which is very critical here in pinas... price conscious kc mga pinoy db? hjehehehe.... always looking for the cheaper one...

[Syuryuken]

hhmmmm sa akin greyish din hindi ko pa nakitang may black smoke na lumabas pag bagong andar or tumatakbo na. pag nirev ko ng todo tsaka ko lang napapansin yung black smoke ng ride ko (Hilander XTRM).
