H20 in PCV catch can ???? I recently failed NY State inspection for excessive hydrocarbons (H/C car with LT heades)
I tuned the car with LS1 Edit reducing the LTRIMS to slightly negitive. I then drove 2000 miles on vacation. During the trip, I filled the gas tank with a double shot of carberator cleaner on each tank full.
Upon returning , I inspected the PCV oil catch can and found about one teasoon of crankcase oil and about 1/4 cup of water!!!!!
I assume the water came from the addition of carb cleaner to the gas, but I not sure.... the car runs great; there is no oil or water in the crankcase oil or radiator and the car runs great...
I added a fresh tank of 93 octane gas with no carb cleaner and 12 small cans of methonal (dry gas) to 1/4 tank of fuel for the emmissions re-test which will be done today....
..Any thoughts on the water in my PVCcatch can?????
Thanks...
