what my exhaust fume looks like


Whenever you start your car especially early in the morning, you should take time to note the kind of fume/smoke coming from your tailpipe/exhaust pipe, the colour of this smoke can speak a lot about the condition of your engine, there are basically 3 kinds of smokes to consider
1. Bluish grey smoke- this means your engine is burning oil, the intensity of the smoke now tells you the level of damage.
2. Whitish grey smoke- this means your engine is burning coolant/water. Also the intensity and length of visibility would tell how serious the case is.
3. Blackish grey smoke- this is as a result of your engine burning excessive fuel. The thickness of the smoke would make you know for sure, and determine how quick your engine needs to be checked.
it is not appropriate at anytime for your exhaust to produce any smoke except for a clear moist discharge of CO2,. if its smoking, its calling for an expert check.
