Question
Do you have recommendations on a good deodorizer for our pumper truck? Whenever the pump is turned on, we are giving off quite a smell. The tank is emptied every couple of days but still has that odor.
Answers
Masport Inc. has a bolt-on exhaust deodorizer. I used it on my old truck for a while and it severely cut down on the odors. You have to refill the canister every so often, depending on how much you are using the truck. So you have to consider two things: 1) Do you have enough space after your exhaust to bolt it on? 2) When you do bolt it on, make sure you have enough top clearance to refill the canister.

We regularly take all the hoses and other equipment off of the truck and steam clean the entire hose trays, then scrub with a brush and Simple Green. It makes a difference. We can tell when we’re due for another scrub-down.

Don’t do any of that stuff. What you need to do is bolt an ozone generator onto the exhaust. Ozone bonds with odor-causing particles and neutralizes them.
