Hey all,
On my '87 Carbed 4-dr. lately its been really dumping out the white smoke. It did it awhile back, but seemed to stop after I dumped a bottle of Heet gas dryer in the gas tank, seeming to start after a heavy rain here. It seemed to start smoking again after I had rinsed the car off with a garden hose. (For those of you who don't know, my accord has a bed and pretty easy access to the fuel tank underneath.
The heavy white smoke would make it sound like the head gasket is suspect, but my coolant level hasn't dropped, my temp. gauge is at the normal range, and the car seems to run very well otherwise. My coolant level remains at the top, with no signs of water in the oilpan via the dipstick. Does this just sound like water in the tank??
Thanks all..
