sawing under roof with diesel.
« on: March 15, 2007, 02:22:52 pm »
I am going to hopefully start on a saw shed for my mill soon and I am wondering what to do about exhaust fumes from the diesel on my mill.
What do others do about the problem or is it not really a problem.
I wouls like to have at least 2 sides of the shed enclosed to cut down on the wind passing through.
Thought about putting a fan in the top of the roof blowing horizontal to help deal with fumes.
I have no electricity where I am planning on putting it and won't for a while.
unless I can talk the power co nto it. :)
any suggestions.
thought about putting electric motors on the mill and getting a genset maybe.

What we did on my mill is buy a 10 foot length of stainless steel flex exhaust hose from NAPA. We attached it to the Detroit's muffler, made a 90 degree bend, attached a length of straight pipe, and sent it out the side of the building. It works real well. My last mill we had a straight pipe go up through the roof. That worked too, but you couldn't seal off the water running down the pipe.

I work in a three sided shed all the time with my mill (42hp Kubota) and have no problems with the diesel fumes.  I would suggest at least 10' sidewall to give clearance for the fumes to get out above you.
