The causes of white smoke from the engine are: 1. The purchased fuel is of low quality with high water content; 2. The water-fuel separator is malfunctioning, unable to separate water from the fuel; 3. Damage to the cylinder liner or cylinder gasket, allowing coolant to enter the cylinder, where it mixes with fuel and burns under high temperature and pressure, producing a large amount of water vapor; 4. The fuel injector is faulty, spraying fuel in droplet form, which mixes with air and is compressed to raise the temperature, causing the fuel to turn into vapor directly without combustion; 5. The fuel injection timing is adjusted too small, resulting in a smaller amount of fuel sprayed by the injector before combustion, reducing the amount of pre-mixed gas, slowing down the combustion speed, and prolonging the end time of combustion, forming white mist.

What causes large areas of paint peeling on the car hood?

Paint fading: Oil fumes and pollutants in the atmosphere are the main causes of car paint fading and discoloration. Fading is different from oxidation, as it results in uneven color differences on the car paint when it occurs. Paint oxidation: Prolonged exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays can cause excessive dispersion of the oil content in the car paint. Both the brightness and depth of the paint are significantly reduced, causing the paint to gradually turn white and form an oxidation layer, thereby shortening the lifespan of the car paint. Solutions are as follows: 1. Waxing: If the car paint's loss of gloss and fading is relatively mild, you can apply wax to the car. 2. Repainting: If the car paint's loss of gloss and fading is severe, then the car should be repainted to improve overall aesthetics and enhance its protective capabilities. 3. Polishing: Paint oxidation can be treated through grinding and polishing.
