Toxic Fumes at Truck Stops...?

Not that big of a deal but it is something you should be concerned about.

If you're not going to idle then do your damest to find a spot to nose in.Not only will you have less racket but the fumes aren't near you. But if its not possible then open your window on the side with the truck that's not running.be wary of pipes under the truck and where another drivers apu box is.


I don't understand why some trucks have the exhaust pipe under the #### truck.

 

Ok you have some trucks idling, you have trucks with Apu's running, then you have reefer units running continues mode and some start stop mode....so what does common sense tell you???

 

The exhaust pipe under is because of stupid egr/def system which causes the soot to fall quicker to ground instead of being dispersed into the air

 

What?
I've been told by quite a few people that the "grass burner" horizontal exhausts are just cheaper and save a bit of weight.

 

Toxic Fumes at Truck Stops...?

 

Grass burner saves weight, costs less, probably a little better on fuel than if you had the stacks on the sides, aerodynamically speaking...

Don't really have to worry about noxious gas; it is the carbon monoxide that will kill you, and diesel engines do not produce much CO. Also, with any hint of a gentle breeze any of it will dissipate... now unless you park in a crater with zero air flow..you might find an issue there

It really isn't something to worry about

 

You're not a YouTube primadonna. You're not one of those sidewalk sissy fearmongers either. She doesn't want to hear from you.

 

Probably toxic urine,spread clear across the truck stops like fertilizer!!
