How-To Make an Exhaust Plug/Cap

[Bigger the Better]

Here is a quick item I use to store my toys in the house. This little item can be made with smaller tubing and end caps if your pipe is a bit smaller then the ones shown.

You will need some tubing the size of your pipe. I used a piece of heater tube sold by the foot at the auto store.
You will need a cap of some type. I used a copper plumbing cap.



Put the cap in the end and push it in place. The rubber tubing will seal against the cap.




Here is the cap installed on the DDM pipes I have.




You can see the oil that it catches. The nice thing about the cap is the oil sits in the cap.



Have fun and keep the carpet clean!

The only issue I have ever had with this item is forgetting to take it off before I try starting it.

I found some oversize foam plugs at work that I use. Either they were for a giant ear, or they were paint masks or something like that.

Either they were for a giant ear

:lol: Love to see it. Got a photo? The foam not the ear. :laugh:

I'm all packed up for Phatdad's Barbecue. I'll take on when I unload the truck.

I like this. Oil on the living room floor does make for a happy spouse

VERY good point - should see my carpet!!
3, 4 DARK drips. It'll wash out of course, but that's not the point.
