Bowler Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 (edited) CH3(CH2)6CH3 + O2 = CO2 + CO + H2O + C + Other crap, like Nitrogen oxides, and oxygen, sulphates, etc... Octane + Oxygen = Carbon Dioxide + Carbon Monoxide + Water + Carbon cbf balancing the above equation Aka, in the basic combustion process, water, carbon (soot) and noxious gases are produced. when the exhaust is cool, the exhaust vapour cools, and condenses, thus water vapour changes to liquid. Carbon (soot) and carbon monoxide are produced due to incomplete combustion, where the fuel doesn't have enough air to fully burn. This more readily occurs where the choke is engaged, but also during some normal running, especially under full throttle. unless the car is producing the same quantities of sooty liquid, when the car is warm, I really wouldn't worry. You also have to consider that carbon builds up in the engine, and exhaust pipes, which can come out in standard running too.
