What is this?

[Airbornemaikai]

So every morning I get up to take my kid to school I go out and start the car and let it warm up, well this morning when I got back home as I was pulling in my drive way I saw this after I parked. So this is where I always park and this is clearly out of my exhaust. Unfortunately my allergies are pretty bad so I can't really smell anything, I did smell to see if it smelled like oil but from what I could tell it does not smell like oil. 2 tanks of gas ago I used a bottle of Heet+iso and then on my current tank I have a bottle of techron concentrate plus, could this be crap its cleaning out? Also apparently the shells here decided not to keep the 93 octane (they had it for 2months and got rid of it) and one of the 2 E85 pumps in my area closed.

Looks like condensation with some soot mixed in. Does it feel oily to your fingers?

[ZSHO]

Agreed,does seem to look like black soot mixed with h2o,and probably the heet or the techron helped relieve some carbon buildup,have you changed your oil lately? are you using a full synthetic oil,any noticeable difference in engine performance,and how many miles on your X-SPORT.Z

[SHOdded]

As above ^^^ have said, probably condensation + existing soot in exhaust getting blown out after the Heet/Techron.

[Airbornemaikai]

Ok yea that's gotta be it. Didn't feel like oil plus had the pregnant wife with her spider sense smell it and she said definitely not oil. Looks like I'll be using another dose on my next fill up till it's all gone, so yea good stuff apparently

Have you ever used any fuel additives before,otherwise enjoy.Z

[Airbornemaikai]

Only thing I used before was a bottle of Lucas oil octane booster. Seems I need to have the BG services done

All that is soot and water from the exhaust .... you might have a rich tune from LMS as most people tune to the rich side to allow for changes in environment

No need to worry

Never had this happen until I put this stuff in and I've been tuned for well over a year now. I'm thinking at least the Heet is working like it should. I may need to start using it more often as our gas around here is run by a bunch of clowns, heck I may revert back to Chevron

I posted up a pic of my pipes in the random pics thread.

Not only are the tips clean but the pipe before the tips is also completely clean.

The new car has 2 bottles of HEET (.18 gal/meth) which the old car never saw.

[Airbornemaikai]

Just saw your pic, almost sparkling clean. Looks like I will be using heet on the regular. WalMart has it for like $1.39, I use the Iso Heet

I was backed into the driveway one evening a few months ago, fired up in the am and left after a lil warm up as per usual. My garage door was spattered with soot/condensate droplets when I got home :-  Simple green got most of it off but there was still faint spots in the white paint.  I like the HEET idea.  I'm all about a lil tune up in a can

[FoMoCoSHO]

ISO HEET is not meth, fyi....

Just filled up , 1.82 gal of corn, .18 of meth(HEET). Total of 2 gallons and 20% blend.

Thanks for the heads up on WalMart pricing. I have seen a case of 24 on amazon for $28.00. Silly me didn't buy it then. Currently $37.00 I think...

Always try to get the yellow bottle that contains methanol,the red bottles has isoprpyl which you dont want.Z
