    this morning, pag start-up ng engine ko, lots of white smoke came out the back (lots, but not dense -- dense white smoke daw is transmission fluid leaking into the engine).

    is this steam? some white smoke naman daw is normal kung cold-started ang engine. another thing, marami akong linagay na "fuel system cleaner" kagabi. nabili ko 'to sa True Value Hardware. i think ethyl alcohol or something ang laman nito. could that be causing the white smoke? di ko 'to napansin dati. thanks.

    gumagamit din ako ng fuel system cleaner 500ml for my 1/2 gas. so far ok naman. check mo spark plugs mo kung basa ng oil, pacheck mo na makina mo sa trusted mong machine shop or casa baka it needs overhaul na.

    note: some engines can get damaged from repeated use of fuel injector cleaner fluids that are mixed into the gasoline. Nissan engines are one of them. I dont know about other makes.

    well, the white smoke dissipated after about 10 minutes. mukhang steam lang yun.

    Most probably its just condensation from moisture build-up IMO.

white smoke sa exhaust
