A method of diluting one or more exhaust gases of a gas turbine engine system includes a number of steps. The gas turbine engine system includes a compressor, a combustor, and a turbine. The method includes determining if fuel is flowing to the combustor of the gas turbine engine system, detecting a flameout condition within the combustor, and releasing a dilution gas from one or more storage containers downstream of the turbine as a function of the detected the flameout condition.
