100 series blowing smoke

Post by 02HiLuX »

my 4.2 diesel, non turbo 100 series cruiser in the higher revs has been blowing big puffs of white smoke and is choking itself then change up a gear and its fine again until it gets into the higher revs again. just wondering what could be causing this. thanks

sounds like a blocked filter. Change the main filter, blow out the lines and clean the pick up filter in the fuel tanks.

Injectors? How many k's on the rig?

EDIT: if the fuel filter is blocked, it just wont make power/flat spots. air filter will cause black smoke due to not enough air to burn all the fuel and i think white is unburnt diesel aswell, im not sure if a air filter blockage will cause this but i know that dirty injectors will. They could be blocked and drippling out fuel or something, not sure.. Try running some good quality cleaner through it, change the air filter/inspect intake and fill it with fresh high quality diesel.

Fuel starvation can cause white smoke, the result of the pump timing not working properly
