"It is all in how cold it is right now as to what the contents will look like. The Elite works a bit better than the mike norris, and the RX the best of all.

So, in warm climates like FL, south TX, CA, etc. you will see mostly oil and unburnt fuel (making it thin) caught. The colder it gets, the more water is caught along with the oil and fuel so thats what your seeing. Get into Northern US and Canada and they will fill fast with mostly water, unburnt fuel, and oil looking like the pictures. Also, the colder the climate, the more often they need to be emptied."


Now I'm in Indiana and aside from Canada and the Yukon, I didn't think it got colder anywhere else and I've never seen this appearance in my can so I don't know but there you have it.
Wow thanks man. Makes me wonder if this thing will be full when I drive the 110 miles to base tomorrow
