Park truck at terminal. Take 5+ days off. Truck losing money so will be given to someone else (who'll also, probably, not smell it). Return to work and be given another truck or go to another company.

Putting it up the pipe creates a venturi effect, creating a lower pressure to draw out of the crankcase, that may work for a race engine, but I wouldn't do it to a truck diesel myself.
Just directing it away would be good, and hopefully, if it's in that bad of repair, it will blow up sooner, rather than later. -
I don't care how good the money is, it's not worth your health. Thay big paycheck won't be any good to you if you end up in poor health, possibly with a chronic condition. There are lots of jobs out there, you only have one body. Take care of it.
86scotty, Blackshack46 and KB3MMX Thank this. -
Get a CO2 detector online, they make them to plug into your 12v cig lghter.

There comes a point in engine wear when the amount of blow by becomes more than the 1 inch blow by tube can get rid off efficiently this is where the Venturi effect is most useful helping evacuate more blow by gases then the tube could do on its own.
I do believe the Venturi effect on a big diesel would be negligible though because they operate at such low rpm. -
It may help enough to make it worth running it up the pipe, but it isnt without cost. Besides, if it isn't yours to do with, you don't want to modify in ways that can't be removed easily.
Drivers get blamed for almost everything as it is, even if they don't deserve it, in my experience. -

Its not going to last
I hope butt i am always loaded to max
All i want is to not be exposed to toxic fumes . Got three kids and want to be there to see them grow -
Oil pressure is low because it's diluted with blow by. Making it really dirty.
My oil got changed every 2 weeks when the pressure dropped. Till it finally got torn down.
Fresh oil makes the pressure back to normal. -
Thats how it started
I had good oil preasure
It dropped two weeks ago
He got me to get only filters changed
Sent me to timmins
By the time i got there the preasure dropped again
They changed oil filters but now its sounds horrible
I am pretty mechanicaly knowlegable
Buit v8's sleds sports cars

What brand of oil?
I know shell rottela has the worst noxious fumes out the blow by tube that I have experienced.
I had to switch brands on my Cummins pick up because it made me sick.
I switched to valvoline and no fumes at allKB3MMX Thanks this.
