(b) The engine and power mechanism of every motor vehicle shall be so equipped and adjusted as to prevent the escape of excessive fumes or smoke.
Exhaust systems on passenger or passenger-carrying vehicles used on any highway shall discharge the exhaust fumes at a location to the rear of the vehicle body or direct the exhaust fumes outward from the side of the vehicle body at a location rearward of any operable side windows. Any motor vehicle equipped with side exhaust according to the original vehicle manufacturer specifications is exempt from the location requirements. A bus used for the purpose of carrying school children may discharge the exhaust on the left side in front of the rear axle. [links]
(a) A motor vehicle shall be equipped at all times with a muffler that is in good working order and that is in constant operation to prevent excessive or unusual noise.
A motor vehicle may not be equipped with any of the following:
(1) A muffler cutout.
(2) A bypass.
(3) Any similar device.
It’s not only in Norway that conventional ship drive systems are contentious: Worldwide, maritime transport is responsible for almost 2.5 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions, according to the International Maritime Organization. It produces one billion tons of CO2 each year. The people who live in seaports, such as Hamburg and Rotterdam, are especially affected by this. Ships with electric or hybrid drive systems could be the answer. But can this revolution really succeed?
Ships transport about 80 percent of the world's commodities, reported the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development. And transportation across the oceans will continue to rise in the coming years – by 3.8 percent per annum by 2022. However, ships produce a huge amount of exhaust gases, such as sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, soot particles and fine dust, and also carbon dioxide (CO2). Market researchers at IDTechEx One have calculated that one single large ship emits as much CO2 as 70,000 cars, as much nitrogen oxide as 2 million cars, and as much fine dust and carcinogenic particles as 2.5 million cars. Out of the total global air emissions, shipping accounts for 18 to 30 percent of the nitrogen oxide. Because of this, ships are among the most serious sources of pollution in seaports.
This is why the use of other energy sources is more efficient and cleaner, such as liquefied natural gas (LNG), hydrogen, or electric energy. Electrical drive systems are not just deemed to be sustainable on land and in the air. In many cases, the environmentally friendly alternatives to oil are suitable for inland shipping – and also for oceangoing ships in the distant future. One advantage of battery operation is that electricity is much cheaper than oil and, especially, marine diesel. Because of this, the analysts at IDTechEx predict that worldwide sales of fully electric and hybrid ships will increase. The figure could reach $20 billion by 2027. more
I've run this thing in the tank I have several times before and never noticed it before. The impellar actually looked new but I replaced it anyway. I want to make sure we are talking about the same thing. I know exhaust comes out right above the intakes and I know water comes out of it as well. I'm refereing to the single exhaust port that it located up higher closer to the cowling. Like I said I never saw water come from it before so I was a little concerned. Is this normal?
Re: Water coming out of exhaust
Yep, it's supposed to be comming out of there. The tube going down from the thermostat housing to the back/bottom of your engine and connecting to the exhaust plate fitting is where the water is comming from. more
