I certainly don't know where to get one of those. It's interesting that you mention it. Today I was listening to Car Talk on WBUR, and they were talking about how you can buy fake sunroof kits (it's a sticker), lord knows why you'd want one... I was reading an article on Wikipedia describing how the real blow-off valves release unmuffled exhaust directly into the atmosphere bypassing the catalytic converter. They may sound cool, but untreated exhaust is NOT cool. I fully support you in your search for a fake one! Maybe do an ebay search on fake sunroofs and see if that company makes anything else. (I'm really not kidding about fake sunroofs)

When I think of a "blow off valve" it is generally what is mounted to a steam engine or water heater and releaves pressures too high for the application.

The only other thing that comes to mind is a "Jake Brake" on big diesel engine in a 18-wheeler rig.

Not sure what you're describing.

Good Luck!

I in no way understood why they have gasoline powered turbines, gasoline will start to split out into varnishes in approximately 2 months except a gasoline stabilizer has been further so the generator could choose to be run dry of gasoline in the previous storage each and every time. The varnish has probable gummed all of it up and the only effective restoration is to dismantle the carburetor, the gasoline path and clean each and every little thing out. in case you will get it to run for a jointly as, attempt blending in some E85 into the gasoline, approximately one area in ten ought to offer you E30 which ought to be high quality, to any extent further and additionally you will ought to alter the jets. The ethanol is a solvent and could help relax the varnish, of direction the varnish could then all land up clogging the gasoline clear out which you will choose to swap. some gasoline antifreeze ought to do the comparable factor because of the fact the ethanol, gasoline antifreeze is methyl hydrate aka methanol and is likewise a solvent, gasoline antifreeze is available in small effortless to handle packing containers. It probable wasn't sufficient to easily start up it, you probable mandatory to run the entire tank by means of, ideally with some ethanol or methanol in it. in keeping with probability instead of laboriously dismantling it to scrub it out, in keeping with probability you are able to purely unbolt the carburetor and soak it in a field of ethanol or methanol in one day and with a bit of luck the varnish will all get loosened sufficient. If i replaced into to get a generator, i could verify with the producer to particular order the trifuel version that's surprisingly lots the comparable factor for the comparable value yet runs on organic gasoline, propane or gasoline and then i could purely hook it as much as the organic gasoline strains while i mandatory to run it quite than mess with the prospect of refilling the gasoline tank or working it dry for storage. an undesirable lot of persons died after typhoon Ike blew by means of by means of ability of attempting to top off their generator and spilling some gasoline onto the nice and comfortable engine plus getting gasoline replaced into almost impossible beginning the day in the previous the typhoon.
