Funny Story

You Guys Have Been Advising Me On How To Fix My Truck And I Appreciate It Very Much.
While Going Through Some Processes Of Elimination I Was Driving My Truck To Check It Out When I Look In My Mirror To See Huge White Cloud Of Smoke Getting Worse By The Second. Panicking I Check All Gauges Check Sensors In My Butt, All Is Fine Exept For Now A Mile Long Cloud Of White Smoke. Finally I Pull Over To Do A Visual Only To Learn A Five Gallon Jug Of Off Road Deisel Has Spilled In The Back Of My Truck And Is Leaking On Hot Exhaust

Enjoy

If it ignites, just go faster until it burns off.

You'll have the town talking for months! ;-)))

Glad that's all it was. Thanks for a good story!

With the store manager's help and kitty litter, got the lot taken care of but the truck was CAKED. To make matters worse I had my spare and motorcycle ramps in the back, which were also so slimy I couldnt even pick them up. $20 later at the car wash (in work clothes - skirt and boots), got lots of the stuff out of my truck but it seemed the more I washed, the more came out. Imagine me, with the car wash nozzle set to "engine degreaser" sliding around in the back of the pickup, getting tied into knots by the water hose. Now I think I hear a squeak between the cab and the bed, I bet that friggin oil has somethin to do with it!

I doubt is, the smell of burning diesel isnt bad. I actually kind of like it. What sucks about the smell coming out of your exhaust is the ccv. That is the stink.
