Member Contributer Dutchy Posted March 9, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted March 9, 2014 Been fiddling with her after winter storage and at some point there was a small puddle under the muffler (Akra cf). Came from the lowest part of the muffler. Now I see this..... It is like a very very fine powder. Is there a coke lab in there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VFRBert Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Been fiddling with her after winter storage and at some point there was a small puddle under the muffler (Akra cf). Came from the lowest part of the muffler. Now I see this..... It is like a very very fine powder. Is there a coke lab in there? IMAG2721.jpg IMAG2723.jpg When serving in the Dutch army in the 80's, i found out, that a lot off the guy's had white powder in their sheets, at waist height. Maybe the Red slut had a pleasant time and forgot the shower afterwards. I think it is some aluminium corrosion. In Holland no winter doesn't mean no salt on the roads. Even if maybe there is a possibility of frost, they trhow a lot of salt on the road. :sad2: Electromagnetic metal corrosion maybe ? Looking at picture 2 i think that is a good possibility. There is contact between steel and aluminium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer MaxSwell Posted March 11, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted March 11, 2014 I think VFRBert is right. That stuff is all over any unwashed vehicle here in Minnesota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
