Abstract
A condensation reduction device for use with an engine is disclosed. The condensation reduction device may have a first body member configured to receive a flow of exhaust, and a reservoir in fluid communication with the first body member to collect condensate from the flow of exhaust. The condensation reduction device may further have a passageway in fluid communication with the reservoir to direct the collected condensate from the reservoir back into the flow of exhaust.
