That email that Matt just sent made me think of something. Is this generally true of the color of the stuff coming out our exhaust: White "smoke", low volume=normal water vapor from cold engine White "smoke", large volume=coolant Blue "smoke"=oil Black "smoke"=carbon, i.e., running too rich Black smoke coming from all over=your van's on fire Knowing this can make it very helpful when troubleshooting errantly running vans.
