Why water is spilling out from silencer in some of the

RAKESH

hydrocarbons (HC)get converted to carbon dioxide and water:


This is the water that we see in the silencer.

Generally water evaporates in the form of steam : but in the morning time, silensor will leave a trail, especially while driving in reverse.

Hi,
Mr Rakesh has given the exact information.

There is nothing to be alarmed about. Water vapour is also a by-product of the combustion process and all petrol engined cars spout small quantities of water from their tail pipes, first thing in the morning. Please do not blame the cleaner or anyone else for this.

People should not use this medium if they are not sure.
Someone informs that it is the water from the Air conditioner??
How such answers are printed.
Mr Shiva has to go through the answers and then publish it.
Many a time, I find, people enthusiastically give some suggestions as though they are Service engineers and Expert in the particular Make or model.
Please avoid such answers.

Water spray is GOOD and it shows that your engine is in first class shape and no need to worry.

Spark Plugs in petrol engines also give a very good idea about the combustion of gases and its efficency.

Good reading.
