About 1000 miles ago I had a cracked injector cup which let fuel into the coolant. Cat dealer replaced all the cups and cleaned out the coolant system. The fuel tank wasn’t checked.
Last time I drove I noticed low end power loss. I started inspecting tonight and found the primer pump will not pressurize. Then I noticed the bowl on the water separator was full of antifreeze. I opened the drain and pumped the primer and was actually able to get some pressure, enough to drain the antifreeze. I’m guessing when the cups failed antifreeze got into the fuel tank. I have noticed quite a bit of white smoke on start up but figured it’s been cold so that’s probably why. After draining the separator bowl I started the truck back up and now I’m getting smoke starting around mid throttle. Did I just lose an injector? I’m sure there is antifreeze still in the tank, could that cause all of my issues including smoke?
I took a video for sound before I drained the bowl and the another after draining the bowl with the smoke.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
