A container for receiving wet exhaust from a deisel engine into an inlet pipe leading into the container. The inlet pipe has a closed bottom and slot in the side thereof intermediate the top and bottom for discharging exhaust into the container. The container has a false bottom spaced above its closed bottom with a fluid access opening in the false bottom. An overflow pipe extends from below the false bottom to a location above the latter and then out the side of the container; this pipe controlling the water level within the container. A pump out pipe is disposed with its inlet end at this water level and removes sheen from the surface of the water to a location outside of the container.
