Unless the carb.has been adjusted before you will need to remove the carb. and punch out the 2 caps on the base of the carb.located in the front.they will look like pressed in caps about 1/4 of an inch round.

SOURCE: white smoke comes out tail pipe

Its perfectly normal.Hot exhaust gases mixing with cold air and by products of the combustion process create the watery substance that you see spit out .Dual fuel (LPG,Hydrogen etc) vehicles do this a lot more noticably.By products of the combustion process are various but water vapour is one of them.Alot of heat is generated by the exhaust so watching a car driving in very cold conditions you can see this effect more clearly

SOURCE: white smoke from tail pipe

It often means that you are burning antifreeze. You asked if it needs antifreeze, have you noticed any leaking out of the reservoir tank while you are running it? Sometimes when the head gasket goes it will produce a passage for the antifreeze to pass from the capillaries into the combustion chamber. It is easy to check if you have an air compressor. Remove one of the rear sparkplugs and the radiator cap. Fill the radiator and then push some air into the sparkplug hole (get a good seal in case a valve is open). Repeat with all the cylinders and watch for air bubbles coming up into the radiator. If bubbles come up or fluid is pumped out, the head gasket is blown and must be replaced. It is more likely to happen at the back of the engine because it is farthest away from the fan and therefore gets less cooling. Also check your oil for discoloration. If it is a brownish color it could mean your oil and antifreeze are mixing and has the potential to damage your bearings.

SOURCE: runs rough, black smoke, computer bank 1 burning too lean

Sounds like bad injectors, bad O2 sensors, and or too much fuel psi. Check the fuel psi against what the service manual says. If the fuel psi is too high, your regulator is bad. If the fuel psi checks out ok, you likely have a bad O2 or bad fuel injector(s).

SOURCE: blue smoke from tail pipe 98 neon no leaks i can see

It sounds like you could need some new piston rings. when they go bad it causes oil to get by into the combustion chamber and burn when the engine fires.

Why does white smoke come out of my tail pipe?

Black smoke = rich mixture
Blue smoke = oil
White smoke = steam

You only see in the the winter. Gasoline contains water at molecular level and come out of the tailpipe as steam when it burns under combustion.

Can a dirty fuel filter cause white smoke in a gas engine

No,
White smoke is steam
Blue smoke is oil.
Black smoke is rich mixture.

We see 'white smoke' questions every year at this time of year when the weather changes. Your gasoline contains water at molecular level and the engine burns it off as steam which exits the exhaust pipe.

Dumping gas into oil and blowing white smoke changed the fuel pressure regulator no difference

White smoke is coolant getting into the cylinders , blown head gasket cracked head or crack in the block etc... . If the engine were running rich ,then black smoke would be coming out the tail pipe -exhaust !

When first started black smoke comes out exhaust pipe,, what could this be

Black smoke is burning oil. Blue smoke is usually transmission fluid due to a leaking modulator valve in the older auto transmission. White smoke is due to water getting in to a cylinder from a bad gasket, cracked block or a cracked head. Black smoke from engines on starting and/or running tends to mean there is fuel leaking into the engine, or the fuel mix is incorrect and not atomised correctly. the main causes are normally a nakered air filter that isnt letting enough clean air into the engine to mix. a blocked fuel filter, which is either not letting enough fuel in, or in some cases, a faulty fuel filter which is letting too much fuel into the engine, and causing black smoke due to excess burning. Black smoke is a fuel/air mixture suggestion problems with injection or carbonation. Cause of black smoke is due to running rich in the fuel air mix. Check the oil,the oil leak,the air filter,the fuel pump and fuel filter to confirm the fault.

White and black smoke comes out of tail pipe when running

Black smoke is a symptom of an overly rich fuel/air mixture. White smoke is a symptom of coolant entering the combustion chamber. I recommend you have this looked at by a professional ASAP. Severe engine damage will occur if you continue to drive it in this condition. You will also ruin the O2 sensors and the catalytic converter. Stop driving it until you can have it repaired.
