Power Service, white smoke

Anyone else notice white smoke while using power service? I was on my second tank of Power Service using a half bottle to full tank ration, very scientific, I know. accelerating and switching gears in 1, 2 and 3 I was getting a puff of white, maybe grey, smoke? Finished that tank put tcw3 in 1 oz to a gallon and the puff is gone.

At what temperature? Could it have been just regular exhaust?

Very doubtful, tanks of PS and TCW3 have been run under the same conditions and ambient temps.

Temps morning 61/afternoon 68

Again, very slight puff, I never noticed. Had a buddy following me and said your crappy cummins is smoking.

I've ran Power Service for 4+ years and no white smoke at all. But with the cold weather coming on I get a slight bit at start up for a half minute or so.

It's maybe time to find a new buddy...

Yes to your question.

I stopped using additives all together over a year ago, with the exception of a shot of 2 stroke oil when ever I can remember to buy some, which isn't very often.

Truck runs great.

Mine will create white smoke if using too much Power Service. I see it with 32oz in the tank but not with 16oz.

16 oz. is supposed to be adequate, according to the bottle.

Hey, that's my last name. But I thought my truck badge says "Cummins".
