When you mix nitric acid with the zinc in the galvanizing used to coat the steel. The byproducts of that burning gas are mostly water, nitrogen, sulphur and various other crud - basically nitric acid. Ever see the stuff that builds up on the zinc battery posts of a car? Same stuff.

How much you get depends on how well the furnace is venting. If it vents well, you’ll get almost none; if it’s not venting well, you’ll get a lot because there’s more condensation occurring inside the vent and you’ve got more acid there. That looks like a single-walled vent. Is it? If so, is it located in an unheated area or inside. If it’s located inside in conditioned airspace and you’re getting that much condensate residue you’ve definitely got some venting issues.
