Justinscott33 · Apr 29, 2022

Ive got a Ford 4000 it white smokes like crazy. Im thinking its not burning all the fuel or something. As Im driving it to the field the smoke starts to burn my eyes. Is it injectors? Fuel lines? Valve? Need help its a 3 cyl diesel thanks in advance fellas

White smoke after the engine warms up could be a cylinder head gasket. Water getting in from one of the ports in the head or, depending on what 4000 you have, could be a pin hole in a cylinder bore due to electrolysis.

I've never heard of electrolysis as a cause for pinholes. I've been told it's due to cavitation.
