Water dripping from a car's exhaust pipe is a relatively common and normal phenomenon, indicating that the engine is operating normally and that combustion is complete with good atomization effects. Below is an introduction to why water drips from the middle of the exhaust pipe: 1. Reasons: (1) The water dripping from the exhaust pipe is a result of water and carbon dioxide formed after the complete combustion of gasoline. Water produces steam at high temperatures, which is colorless and transparent. However, when the temperature drops below 100 degrees Celsius, the steam condenses back into water. (2) If the condensed water droplets are very small and suspended in the air, the steam appears as white gas. When the ambient temperature is low, the white smoke emitted from the exhaust pipe is actually steam, which condenses and accumulates into water droplets, eventually turning into water. 2. Maintenance methods: (1) Prevent the muffler from rusting; (2) Prevent the muffler from discoloring; (3) Prevent gas leakage.
