Install A Nelson EcoVent™ Recirculator

And Eliminate The Noxious Mist Caused By

Diesel Crankcase Blowby.

Diesel engines. We love their might. We dread their mess—especially in engine rooms. But there is a solution. The Nelson EcoVent recirculator can i cfc keep your diesel from mist-behavin! . ^"-i1 ^ You see, the Nelson EcoVent recirculator was

J, "*jpi|l developed to prevent crankcase fumes from fouling . 1 the air intake filter and coating the engine room with ,j> * ^' * _«H^p' noxious mist from diesel crankcase blowby. g||gMK$'l9 In fact, the Nelson EcoVent recirculator removes "^sp^iB^hi- I 99% of the oil mist and airborne particles, so you can duct the now-clean blowby fumes to either the inlet side of the air cleaner, or the clean side for a completely closed system. The result? A

Nelson EcoVent recirculator system removes 100% of blowby mists and gases from the atmosphere without engine damage. No wonder it's used by the

U.S. Navy, Coast Guard, yacht owners, engine builders, packagers and work boat operators.

What's more, with the Nelson EcoVent recirculator, there's less oil consumption, installation is easy and maintenance is a snap. And you won't find a more competitive price anywhere! =

Best of all, with the Nelson EcoVent recirculator on duty a messy engine room will never be mist.
