I think the condensation problem in the oil is gone! 700 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be Chris Regfensburger on  Sat Mar 5 02:20 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Bad thermostats can cause excess condensation because the oil never gets hot enough to boil off the water. Blocked PCV system, usually the flame trap on non-turbos or the nipple on both can trap moisture in the crankcase. I would have just changed the oil and filter and seen if it came back. Water in the fuel tank usually doesn't make it to the engine because it is seperate from the fuel. When the pump starts drawing water, the engine dies, but that only happens when there's gallons of water in the tank. Dry gas and other addatives cause the moisture and the fuel to mix and both get burned off. The lucas product causes the enginge to burn a little hotter than normal also.
