Engine Smoking After Washing With Diesel by JKisOK(op): 8:01pm On Jun 09, 2018
Today, I decided to try out one tip I once saw on this forum. I used a good quantity of diesel to wash my car engine. Looks very neat. But problem now is when I started the engine, smoke is coming from some part, around the manifold or engine block side or coil side, I don't really know. But apart from the smoke, no other issues apparently. Please, what could be going on?

Heat is burning off the remnants of the diesel oil. Next time be careful not to allow diesel spill onto sensitive or very hot surfaces.

Thanks a lot. But what exactly can one do to prevent oil reaching such parts?

Let the engine run for about 20 minutes with the bonnet open.
