Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / Small diesel engines
Italian term or phrase: decantatore
This is a device mounted on a small diesel engine:

Lato dx (guardando dal lato volano): E’ il lato dedicato allo scarico, al turbo e al decantatore.

I think it's a drain, perhaps for condensed water. Does anyone know?

Thanks.
