Abstract

An emission-capturing apparatus includes a tank having an inlet and an outlet. The apparatus further includes a muffler fluidly coupled with the outlet to intercept fluid exiting the outlet, permit passage of gas through the muffler, and inhibit passage of liquid through the muffler. The apparatus further includes a hose having a tank end and a distal end. The tank end is coupled to the inlet. The apparatus further includes a fitting fluidly coupled to the distal end of the hose. The fitting is configured to be fluidly coupled to an end section of an ejection port of a vehicle to receive an emission from the ejection port.
