So I have/had a nitrous kit . ( ordering a DP kit very soon )
and one time the wifey and I were driving home from a party and I decdided to pass her on the bottle. SO I hit it and passed her.
She told me liquid hit her windshield
I am wondering if I had the nozzle to close to my throttle body and the nitrous didnt turn into vapor form in time or if it was unburned fuel.
What do you all think?

Sunroof open and the thrill of the bottle caused you to lose bladder control? :)

I really doubt it was fuel...That would have to be a lot of fuel to "Leak" out the exhaust

if it was fuel it would have probably been a fire ball out your exhaust. its almost impossible to have pure fuel come out your exhaust..

naw, I have seen gas come out exhaust before. Some flame throwers work that way. they tune the carbs ( not on EFI ) to run rich and use a spark plug in the exhaust tip to ignite it.
Not sure what it was, but I'll test it again to find out for sure.

maybe you hit a puddle and your tires threw h2o back.

i think its either fuel, fuel vapor, or water vapor. or a combination. because i have driven behind slant when he sprayed and when he got on it a puff of white smoke shot out at every shift as well as fluid. i know my stang used to spit too along with a small cloud of black smoke when you got up on it.

It's not uncommon to have some small bits of water coming out of your exhaust. Especially when you've just started the car recently and the exhaust isn't extremely hot yet.

Speaking of, I was running a bit rich at the track on bottle, and when I shifted into 3rd, it shot out a huge ass fireball and lit up the entire underside of the car(open exhaust), that was great!
