Dave:

I grew-up in a marine environment (commercial fishing), then spent some time in the navy, so was familiar haylon suppression systems.  I was probably still in my 20s when I installed the small cylinder with a short dispersal nozzle located over the engine.   After haylon was banned, I retired the system.
