Water vapor in exhaust - symptom of problem? 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be James A Sousa on  Fri Jan 4 14:43 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Scott - Internal combustion engines produce a tremendous amount of water vapor, most of which you never see.

Mike lives in a warm climate, so he sees little. Here in Massachusetts, we see plenty of it all winter, but it gets less visible or not seen at all when your engine warms up.

On really cold nights, below zero for instance, you can see it coming out all the time, even at speed on the highway if someone is behind you to light it up.

If you are losing coolant mysteriously, you should seek professional help, otherwise your water vapor is most certainly benign.
