Oil & Fuel 2012 3616 blowing white smoke

[upstate]

I値l check the coolant level in the morning. The smoke smells like Unburnt fuel to me.

You might have water mixed in the diesel, have you tried fuel from another source. If not put some in a glass jar and check for water
If nothing else try adding some injector cleaner might have a dirty one

It smokes when I first start it and will get better as it warms up (At idle), but under a load it smokes continuously and loses power?

Always white smoke, no black smoke .

That's been my experience... white smoke = water in the fuel mixture.

Always white. Checked the coolant this morning and it was full to the top.

As mentioned before, I'd find a different source for your diesel and at least rule that out as being the problem. You might have to drain the tank and add new red diesel if you can locate it. Don't know if an additive would really help with what's already in tank.

Thanks for all the insight. I was thinking about draining the tank as a next step. Were痴 the best spot to drain the tank from? Or siphon?

On my tractor I can remove the fuel hose from the fuel filter and drain the tank, it's a gravity feed to the filter. You might check yours and see if it would work for you.

Working on draining tank this weekend and using fresh diesel. Thanks everyone for insight. I値l keep you posted

Siphoned tank out, drained lines. Put new fuel in and let run for 1/2 hour. Still the same. Once warm very little smoke at idle, up to 1500 rpm +\- a little more smoke, 2000 rpms runs rough and considerable smoke.

I think it’s time to find a good diesel mechanic.
