High Altitude and smoke

[Ernie Ekberg]

Thanks Jurgen. When it is cold out I always have my block heater on- especially if I'm in a campground.

The traffic on the street, which i entered, got their green light , but couldn't move due to my reducing visibility to 0 feet. The smoke cleared shortly then. Later I learned from an experienced coach operator that if you light a fire (start a diesel) you get lots of smoke, high altitude and thin air will cause this, so just be light on the throttle and make sure no cops are around. Black smoke is only too much fuel and not enough air. And the experienced coach operator might be on this web site. His name is Fox, Coach name "the Two Foxes.
