Default What does ALOT of white smoke that smells like fuel mean??

4.6HSE, Its a cloud of white smoke and it smells like fuel? Engine sounds fine. When I give it gas, it feels like it misses or skips as if you were out of gas, but then it picks up and it idles fan but the white smoke never quits, you cant even drive it, its that bad. I checked the dipstick and it wasnt black or the color of oil, the oil was actually kinda tan or a very light brown. You can see the oil but then you can see another color over it. Thoughts?

Have you checked the level of your coolant? Possibly getting coolant into your combustion chambers. Head gaskets perhaps.

Do not drive it till you can verify a blown head gasket. If you want, call me early in the morning and I'll walk you thru what to look for.
This needs to be considered a major problem, don't drive it and let's talk about your mechanic and tests that need to be done ASAP.
