Went to go install my fms breather on the filler neck took off the old cap and it had like a lil bit of ice on the end and i seen frost in the filler neck and some on the cam ... is this normal ? the temp has been about 25 during the day and 5-10 at night .... I did remove the pcv and installed 3 breathers i dont know if that could be the cause any help woudl be nice

 

Maybe the outside air is coming in through the breathers and condensing from the motor being warm.

 

Should i be worried ? Or could this just be normal ? I would like to stop a problem before it becomes one

 

for every one gallon of fuel you burn your vehicle produces 1 gallon of water. (mostly in the exhaust)

It's simply frozen water vapor from the crank case..


should you be worried? I parked my truck in September and it won't be started until April.

 

So actully the breathers may help to vent this out right ? Or could they be letting more in .. HuMm

 

I noticed the same today on mine. Temps here have been
cold, - 8 this morning with lots of snow. Lightning has been in the garage for over a month. I start it every week and let it run for a while. Waiting for a good day to drive it.

Is this a good idea.

 

Well at least i aint the only one

 

I have not heard anyone complain about that problem down here in S. Fl..

NOT a good way to start out w/ my first post!

 

How about a nice big bucket of New England snow.

 

Anyone know if this should be something i should worry about ?

 

i wouldn't worry about it too much..

Just allow the truck to reach operating temperature before you start to drive it.

 

For what it is worth, over in the engines forum i posted about what looked to be water and oil mix on the bottom of my oil cap and in the filler neck in my 5.4 Expy. I forget who it was said he worked in Ford service department and he says it is a normal thing and not to worry about it. I imagine it is the same thing just with it being so cold there, yours is just freezing.

Heres the thread
