For this month we would like to cover different kinds of engine smoke colors and what they mean and how knowing could aid you on a faster diagnostics process.

1. White Smoke- A white smoke that dissipates quickly after reaching an open cool area is an indication of vapor. This would indicate the burning/boiling of water. Example=Defective Head Gasket
2. Blue Smoke- A blue smoke that lingers and rises slowly is caused by the burning of oil. Example=Defective Piston Rings
3. Black Smoke- A black smoke that falls slowly is indication of excessive burning of fuel. Example=Vehicle Running Rich
