Even if an exception has been granted best engineering practices would dictate the use of the sensors mentioned above, especially when flammable materials are employed in the exhaust system.
Good post, makes sense, they must get around that rule somehow, or maybe the sensors aren't working. The big question is are these being clogged up or is it a defect.
