White smoke indicates blown head gasket or head , get the cylinders compression tested , have the OBD codes read to give you some idea of any components faulty

I have a 95 Nissan maxima and smoke and gas coming out my tail pipe I was told that it was my was fuel regulator all I smell is gas when i my start car can some body plz help me find the problem plz

It would be unlikely gas is coming out of the tailpipe. The fuel regulator can leak internally and externally. If there is an internal leak with the regulator, the vehicle will be overfueled and will run poorly if at all with black smoke out the tailpipe and most likely the check engine light on/flashing. You may experience a fuel smell. If the regulator is leaking external, there will be a definate fuel smell. You may also have an injector or injector seal leaking as well. Depending on the engine size 4 or 6 cyl, it can be hard to spot an injector leak. However, a fuel p;ressure regulator can easily be located and checked for a fuel leak.

Would not gaping the spark plugs properly cause fuel to come out of the tailpipe?

Possible, but it would be a rough engine spin.
Check the fuel level in the carb, or the fuel pressure from the pump as well.

1999 nissan maxima bad fuel smell and fuel coming out tailpipe

Hello Anonymous,

Were I you... (my best guess)
I would be looking for a BLOCKED EXHAUST...

(in my opinion)
probably the number one REASON AUTOZONE
sells so many (pointless) OXYGEN SENSORS...

Those new OXYGEN SENSORS Pretty much
complain as well as the old ones did...

The logical equivalent of buying a NEW
THERMOMETER
... because you have a fever.

Check out the whole system costs on AMAZON,
eBay & rockauto... BEFORE waltzing into any
exhaust shop...

Catalog:
http://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/nissan,1999,maxima,3.0l+v6,1356780,exhaust+&+emission

Catalytic converters ($$) C.A.R.B. Compliant available
1999 NISSAN MAXIMA 3 0L V6 Catalytic Converter RockAuto

C.A.R.B. specific details (2 day ship'n, About $280)
More Information for DAVICO 169750

Exhaust shop should be able to test...
(OXYGEN SENSORS... save your $$$$ = nah)
Hope this helps

Nissan maxima 2000. Oil dipstick level shows too high. Regular oil changes done and filter with proper amount added. White smoke alerted me to recheck things. Only thing I found was dipstick shows oil

If the oil level goes up, something has to be leaking into the engine oil pan.
That would either be gasoline from the injectors or coolant from the radiator. If you are not adding coolant, it could be a leaking injector.

My 95 maxima heater does not work while the car is idling, but does work while driving.

You are most likely leaking leaking coolant. Does white smoke come out your tailpipe? Is the floor on your passenger side wet at times?
