Abstract: A pressure-releasing breather hose 1 mounted on a urea water tank 2 is dividably constituted by a flexible joint portion 1a with an end capable of being fitted over a hose joint 3 on the tank 2, and a vertical portion 1b connected to the other end of the joint portion 1a and suspending downward along a side surface of the tank 2. The joint and vertical portions 1a and 1b are constituted by a rubber hose made of ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM) and a polyethylene pipe (resin pipe) made of high density polyethylene (HDPE), respectively.

Abstract: Sensing accuracy of a temperature sensor is enhanced so as to accurately conduct regeneration control of a particulate filter. Disclosed is an exhaust emission control device wherein a pair of dispersion plates 10 and 11 with a number of communicating holes 10a and 11a are arranged in a filter casing 7 incorporated in an exhaust pipe such that the plates are opposed to each other in a direction of flows of exhaust gas 3, catalytic regenerative particulate filter 6 being received in a reception chamber 12 defined by and between the dispersion plates 10 and 11. A temperature sensor 14 is arranged in the filter casing 7 so as to detect exhaust temperature in the reception chamber 12, a sensing element 15 of the temperature sensor 14 being adapted to be in one of flows of the exhaust gas 3.
