    This thread is from 2011.
    You might get a better/faster answer if you ask in the Refrigerated Section of the Forum.

    Fuel is black
    White is coolant
    Grey is oil

    Alot of people confuse Grey and white.

    Grey lingers. White evaporates.

    I've also had an engine blow white smoke when it was sucking air into the fuel system. Mechanic didn't slip the O-ring onto the fuel filter boss before he spun the filter on.

    Only time I get white smoke. Is when it's Flipping cold outside.

    Cool to see in the mirrors. You literally look like an old steam powered locomotive.
