Diesel Mosquito fogging, West Nile Virus

Reducing Risk of West Nile Virus through Diesel Mosquito fogging.
These are practical plans for qualified master technicians to address a health/safety concern, any use or abuse of this information is your responsibility and liability.
#1. Weld a 1/8 NPT female boss just after the turbo output/exhaust side.
#2. Drill a three millimeter hole through exhaust pipe in the center of the welded 1/8 NPT female boss
#3. Get a 1/8 male NPT 1/4 tube female compression fitting.
#4. attach at least 3-5 inches of 1/4 tube to female compression fitting.
#5. Get a domestic windshield washer (fogger) bottle with pump, mount it in a front fender area.
#6. You will need a spool of wire to power=(colored RED), and ground=(colored BLACK) the washer pump.
#7. Find a ground point in the driver knee/foot area, and attach enough (GROUND) black wire to reach where you want the switch.
#8. Select your switch type, I prefer horn type push button, attach the (GROUND) black wire to the switch
#9. Attach (GROUND) black wire to the windshield washer (fogger) bottle motor, and route it to, and connect to the switch.
#10. Mount the switch in a location that will not strain or distract.
#11. Attach RED=(POWER) wire to the windshield washer (fogger) bottle motor and positive battery terminal, through a fuse.
#12. Connect check valve to 1/4 tube (to prevent exhaust gas entering the fluid line).
#13. Attach rubber hose to windshield washer (fogger) bottle motor output and check valve.

Warning: Read the mosquito fogging chemical MSDS BEFORE you buy it.


#14. Fill the Fogger bottle with your preferred mosquito fogging chemical.
#15. Start the engine.
#16. Activate the switch.
#17. Verify fogging cloud at several throttle positions.
#18. Top off the Fogger bottle with your preferred mosquito fogging chemical.
#19. Clean up.
Note: Keep a jug of your mosquito fogging chemical in the trunk during the summer.
