Could be you have a bad head gasket. Take it to a mechanic and get it fixed. I doubt it is gasoline that is leaking. The white smoke is vaporized coolant.

Unhappy Re: camry 1993 fuel problem

I check it and it is not a water. It is a gas. The white smoke is a gas that burn from caterlic convertor but it was too much gas the cat could not burn them all. I did use a towel to wipe the gas from the floor and sniff it and it is gas. It was so must gas that leak from the cat but good think that i wasn't smoking. I'm sure 100% that it not water. i just got this motor 1.5 years ago. It is use from japan that what they said. i remove the spark plug all 6 and they all wet from gas. Any other idea ???

thank
kent

Re: camry 1993 fuel problem

Gasoline will not make white smoke. It will burn in the catalytic converter. I bet your coolant level goes down over time. You may be smelling unburned gasoline in the coolant from your cylinders with fouled plugs.

Angry Re: Re: camry 1993 fuel problem

Gasoline turn white because it did not get ignite. It got heat up to the point that steam like a water but not to the point to burn. I do work on car quite alot(i restore car and rebuilt the motor for fun) but never see this kind of symptom. It is a gasloline that leak from the cat. My water level is find. Anyone else have any idea??

Re: camry 1993 fuel problem

1. Gasoline by itself will never turn into white vapor.

2. Good luck

Unhappy Same problem gas leak

All I did was change my ac compressor and now my 92 Camry V6 is pouring gas out of the exhuast. I evacted the system by removing the Evaporator and all. So I had to remove the ECU etc. So I thought it was a wire problem but checked all and still not working correctly. It has a very rough idle as if it is not firing correctly. It is also dripping from the exhuast manifold gasket were the bolt is under the hood. It is definitely gas and not water. Not loosing any water or antifreeze at all. If any one knows the solution it would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Well I found the problem. Checked the voltage to injector #3. It was the ECU. Replaced ECU and no more gas spewing out of the Exhaust. With the ECU unplugged the voltages at the connector were around 12 volts but once I plugged it in all the voltages were 12 volts except for the #3 injector wich dropped to about 3.2 volts
