However, lower pressure also promotes the condensation of gases, as shown in the video below. Therefore, when the OCS is positioned upside down, the lower pressure increases the condensation of fuel vapor.

The video below shows the wing of a Boeing B737-400 taking off in the rain from Seattle-Tacoma airport. Just as the plane starts to lift off the ground condensation is observed over the top of the wing. This phenomenon is caused by low air pressure over the wing causing water vapor in the humid air to condense.
