What Causes Water Sounds in the Exhaust Pipe?
1 Answers
Car exhaust pipe has water sounds for the following reasons: Gasoline Combustion: Gasoline is mainly composed of octane, a chemical compound of carbon and oxygen. Combustion produces carbon dioxide and water, which is the primary source of moisture. The water produced by gasoline combustion is in a gaseous state. When it comes into contact with the cold exhaust pipe, some of the water vapor condenses into a liquid form and remains in the exhaust pipe. Solution: Drive at high speeds or start the car with the handbrake engaged during midday when temperatures are higher. Quickly press the accelerator in neutral to raise the engine speed to between 2000 and 4000 RPM, then release. Repeat this several times. After getting out of the car, check the exhaust pipe, and you will notice a large amount of water being expelled. Repeat the process until no more water comes out.
