Gas coming from tail pipes!
Gas coming from tail pipes!
Hey, I have an 89 Firebird 350tpi and I drove to the store and everything was fine. A couple of hours later I was going to a friends and the care started to run real funny like when i put my foot on the gas it would almost stall. I got to the gas station and I put gas in her and I noticed liquid being spit out by the pipes and i put my hand under and it was pure gas. Can someone please help me!!!!!!!! Do you guys think it could be a fuel injector that is open?

Next time catch a few drops that are coming from the exhaust in a container and put a match to it. Tell us what happens.

it may smell like gas but it is unlikely raw gas would make it all the way to the tail pipe .

if it was gasoline, with the motor running as the exhaust heated up it would vaporize in the exhaust and turn into white smoke that dissipates very quickly.

Re: Gas coming from tail pipes!
the white smoke is gas that has been evaporated by it touching the hot exhaust the liquid is condensation comes out of all tail pipes ( some more than others) from the gas evaporating .I would say if it's smoking that bad and going through a lot of gas then you have something going on like a stuck injector or a bad sensor making it run very rich . Is your check engine light on ? With out any more info except it's smoking there is not much anyone can do without looking at the car itself.
