Ok - Ready?

A last issue Thermasan had seven components that were not hoses.
1 - The control head in the cab. It contained indicator lights, a time delay relay circuit and a control switch.
2 - A speed switch set for 45MPH (iirc)
3 - A vacuum switch that closed below 15inHg (again iirc)
4 - An RF level sensor that caused the pump to stop on low level
5 - A strainer affair with contacts for the level sensor
6 - The pump - A Cole-Parmer Peristaltic pump driven by a Delco wiper motor that was strapped to run fast.
7 - The "Sanitizer" that got strapped to the exhaust before the muffler. This was a stainless saddle with a small piece of screen and a mineral wool gasket.

I used to have a box of parts around, but that was 3 or 4 moves ago and I don't recall seeing them in my barn in the last decade.

Do they work??
Yes they work.
I built up an emissions test lab to prove that they worked. I did prove it, but there was no talking to many state environmental people and even though I was working on the commercial application, there seemed to be a very limited market. We were going after highway buses and tugboats. I was young and foolish and let my self get dragged into family/company politics a the program got dumped.

They also are real good for making tailgaters back off......
