Diesel engine smoke: blue, black, or white? any excess smoke from a modern marine diesel is a sign of a problem, and the color of the smoke helps indicate the nature of the problem.. Initial checks for tracing the black smoke: the funnel of a ship integrates all the exhaust trunking running from main engine, generator engine and boiler inside one enclosure. the first thing to do is to go to the bridge deck and check from which particular exhaust trunk the black smoke is prominent. If you set fire to diesel the fuel will burn more quickly than air can reach the centre of the fire - so large amounts of black smoke (soot) are given off as the fuel only partly combusts. technically 'unburnt' diesel is the white smoke that elderly or faulty engines give off when the full fuel charge in the cylinder fails to ignite fully..
Diesel engines have a reputation for being dirty and making lots of black smoke. that’s one of the dominant images that people have – a diesel rig going down the highway with black smoke belching from the stacks.. The black smoke is full of particulates that are basically large diesel particles that normally would be burned as fuel. any way you look at it, a diesel truck emitting black smoke is not going to be getting the optimal fuel mileage it should be getting.. The black smoke is composed primarily of elemental carbon from incomplete combustion of diesel fuel and traces of engine lubricant. the exhaust of a typical diesel engine contains elemental carbon (soot), semi-volatile organic hydrocarbons, sulfates (primarily sulfuric acid), and water vapor..
