Chemistry class: Combining hydrocarbons (gasoline)and oxygen produce
1)carbon dioxide, 2)carbonmonoxide, 3)H2O (water), and 4)heat...usually
there is enough heat to keep the water in vapor form, on a cold day the air
cools the exhaust system and condenses the vapor to liquid, and the moving
exhaust gasses bring it out of the tailpipe. You will also notice if you
only drive your vehicle short distances, the exhaust system will rust
out...it never gets warm enough to "dry out" the inside of the pipe, and it
rusts from the inside-out.

Subject: [oletrucks] tailpipe water
I have a 97 S-10 and i cranked it up this morning to let it warm up and i
noticed water dripping from the tailpipe. It was around 38 degrees
farenheight at the time. Is that something that is normal, i never noticed
it before?
Thanks tom
