Carbon monoxide can cause severe nausea,
fainting, or death. Do not use copper tubing in diesel
exhaust systems. Diesel fumes can rapidly destroy
copper tubing in diesel exhaust systems. Exhaust sulfur
causes rapid deterioration of copper tubing resulting in
exhaust leakage.
Carbon monoxide can cause severe nausea,
fainting, or death. Install exhaust system tail pipe so
discharged exhaust gases will not be drawn into vehicle
interior through windows, doors, air conditioners, etc.
Do not use flexible tail piping since this type could crack
and allow lethal exhaust fumes to enter the vehicle.
