Contaminated fuel – See my article on how long fuel lasts.Usually, you will see the smoke will be a “thick” cloud (Like in the picture at the top of the page). This will be a steady stream of smoke after starting up. Once you are sure it’s water or coolant, stop and fix it. So, if you have this problem, be careful running it for any period of time. If you know anything about compressing water, you know this is not going to end well. This is caused by a compromised part of the engine that has the flow of coolant in it. Your engine is getting coolant or water in the combustion chamber. Water or coolant can cause white smoke from a diesel engine as well. I wrote an article about signs and symptoms of a worn-out diesel engine and if you need some tools to fix these issues check out my complete tool guide for diesel techs 2. Remember, if you have an older engine with really low compression and bad timing or low injection pressure, you are more likely to have white smoke.
