What to Do When the Exhaust Pipe Sprays Water Excessively?

[DelDelilah]

Excessive water spraying from the exhaust pipe is normal. Gasoline is a mixture primarily composed of hydrocarbon substances. After complete combustion, it produces some water vapor and carbon dioxide. Therefore, in winter, the white smoke emitted from the exhaust pipe is actually water vapor. When this water vapor passes through the cold exhaust pipe, it condenses into small water droplets, which then flow out of the exhaust pipe. With the use of ethanol-blended gasoline nowadays, even more water vapor is expelled. When the accumulated water reaches a certain level, you may see water spraying out from the exhaust pipe. In fact, this indicates that the engine is burning efficiently and operating normally.
