Default white smoke

Can someone explain...
I just switch to diesel for my Jet Munt VT80 ( 5% oil)..and 100XBL
Twice today when I put full power the turbine shot down and make a big cloud of white smoke!? (VT80)
Then run turbine for two minute at minimum and gradually open the throttle to full and was OK ...what can make that happen?

I have used diesel in my VT-80 and M-90 with no issues, ( except white smoke after shut down)
Try to accelerate and decelerate point to point twice, to abble the fadec to learn the new situation, and probably the problem will disappear. If not, try to increase a little the acceleration delay.

I had this same issue with a 140 today swiching to diesel..... I am still a bit new, so what does this mean from the above post?

"Try to accelerate and decelerate point to point twice, to abble the fadec to learn the new situation, and probably the problem will disappear."

And did it solve your problem?

Nice to know.
The fadec runs with parameters " learned" from previous runnings, and correct them slowly in real time with actual data, so, if there have been major changes, ( pump, pipes, fuel.. the teaching helps a lot to the fadec to learn the actual situation.
