Most of the year the wind carries my exhaust away from my neighbors so no problem. Recently had a typhoon pass thru the area and with the change of wind direction exhaust was a bit of a bother for the neighbors (can't imagine why - smells like french fries)
Anyway, how far can I go and with what size pipe? Ive the specs from lister on exhaust size but would like to go farther than listed in the book.
Cheers, Fred
Fred- I wonder how effective an earth/leach field would be at cleaning up the stink??? From what I recall, at 2" you can go 24 feet without a problem, after that you have to go larger.
thanks gentlemen, I'll try the 4 inch over 60 feet and see what happens.
Oh Yeah, "Supertyphoon Nida" (cat 5 Hurricane) has made it's NorthWest recurve and should be slogging thru the Pacific Northwest in a week or so.
Thanks again, Cheers, Fred

I have to ask, never heard of the expression "Earth/leach field" ???
Sorry, WJ, I was too cryptic. Earth mufflers have been used by some Lister/oid owners, for the ultimate in quiet exhaust.
An earth muffler- stick your exhaust into a buried expansion tank (drum), with a perforated outlet pipe feeding a similar to septic leach-field line (3" gravel or cinders in a buried ditch). A riser goes at the end of the leachfield.
By occasionally pouring in water and a nitrogen source, bacterial will eat the toxics, though you wouldn't want to do this with a very shallow water table.
I just don't know how well it would clean up the air, but certainly some.
Thanks Bruce, now those I know!
I thought you (being electrically minded) had some EARTH cct that somehow trapped particles magnetically or someting! ::)
Just shows you were my mind sometimes wonder too! ;)
