Wayne,

as Rob so rightly says the "smoke" was infact very hot vaporised oil.

It was that very description and a lack of a burning smell upon arrival on scene that led to my avenue of questioning that revealed what had not gone on before start up.

It is a learning curve you have to go through when you don't have enough of the correctly trained people or correctly motivated people.

It has been at least 2 years since the event but maintaining vehicles is just a small part of what we do at work. Winter is our repair time. It is cyclical.

Robin
