What does white smoke from tailpipe and smell of gasoline mean?
White smoke from the exhaust is a sign of coolant entering the combustion chamber. You are smelling gasoline because the coolant is mixing with the fuel in the combustion chamber of one or more cylinders and causing a misfire. The excess fuel is going out the tailpipe with the coolant as white smoke. Sorry to say but you have a blown head gasket, cracked head, or intake manifold gasket leak. STOP driving this vehicle until you can have this repaired. Serious engine damage will occur if you continue to drive this car. Have it repaired ASAP.
