What does it mean when smoke turns black?
Black smoke is a result of the burning of heavy fuels or synthetic materials. This can mean that the fumes are particularly toxic and shouldn’t be inhaled if you are exposed to them.
Why do I have white smoke coming from my exhaust pipe?
White smoke from the exhaust pipe on startup, idle, or acceleration tells us that coolant or water is getting vaporized in the exhaust pipe. You can also carefully smell the water or smoke from the exhaust; if it smells sweet, it’s most likely coolant, and in this case, you have a bigger problem.
Why is black water spittin’out the exhaust?
Its fine, unless of course you keep loosing coolant with no trace outside the motor. the black in the water is carbon that the water collected on its way out the pipe. heres a video!!! note!!! that big gush of water was already puddled in the muffler.. i was watching it from before… but why am i getting so much water!!!!
Where does the white smoke come from in a car?
The best way is to check inside your cylinders and spark plugs. If the car is combusting coolant, it will clean the cylinders. So if no of the cylinders is cleaned, but the car is still burning coolant, it must come from after the combustion chambers, like from the EGR cooler.
What kind of smoke does a St on stilts smoke?
White-ish smoke, with a weird twist OK so, 05 plate 2.2 TDCI euro 3 Mondeo (basically an ST on stilts) started smoking a hell of a lot yesterday, but not consistently- sometimes it does it from starting, sometimes it doesn’t, but it seems to be a roll of the dice when you fire it up- either smoke this time, or don’t!
Why is black smoke coming out of my tailpipe?
It means that the combination of air and fuel your engine is combusting is too rich with gasoline. Not all of the gasoline is burned during combustion. Some is forced out into the exhaust where it emerges as black smoke. Since the fuel ratio is controlled by the engine’s ECU computer, momentary black smoke could be fairly normal on an older car.
Why does my motorcycle exhaust have black soot on it?
Black soot on the spark plugs suggests that the fuel/air mixture is too rich, resulting in gray exhaust smoke. A shiny, wet, black film on the plugs is a result of excess oil, and this causes blue smoke.

What should I do if I have gray smoke coming from my exhaust?
If gray smoke persists, consult the user’s manual for your bike to find out how to make the fuel mixture more lean. Inspect the piston ring and valve seals to ensure they are air-tight. If you are unsure how to do this and your user’s manual does not provide instructions, seek professional assistance.
