Gaskets and Seals

Today’s diesel engines are as clean or cleaner than most gasoline powered engines.  Engine Technology is vastly improved and sophisticated emission control

systems are used on diesel powered trucks, cars and boats.  The exhaust systems involve various combinations of selective catalytic reduction (SCR), diesel oxidation catalysts (DOC), diesel particulate filters (DPF) and Lean Nox Trap (LNT) catalysts.  In addition, there are many clamped and/or bolted joints connecting the exhaust piping from the manifold or turbo charger outlet to the muffler and ultimately to the tailpipe.  These clamped or bolted joints can be static or dynamic in nature and temperatures of the exhaust vary depending on the application and location of the joint.  The vast majority of these joints require a gasket or seal to provide the lowest exhaust leakage.
