Impressed by how quickly condensation takes over

[DoubleWasp]

Tonight, I was working on my Caprice. I have a clear hose that goes to one of my breather filters. I hadn't driven it or started it since last night. When I started the engine, it fogged up fast. Not just misty, but true droplets. Cleared out after 10 minutes of hot idle, but it was really something else to see.

No wonder corrosion can set in so easily on a car not driven often.

Simply put, if you burn 1 gallon of gasoline, you get around 1 gallon of water as a natural reaction product. It's no wonder you get condensation so quickly as your engine is essentially turning fuel into water, CO2 and heat (simply put).
