I try to post this every year at "heating season" I've only seen this type of damage on SSI heats, never the stock systems.
Most everyone knows carbon monoxide is extremely dangerous. It will eventually kill but probably more dangerous to us, it can impair driving skills similar to drunk driving. A home CO detector riding with you with the heat on should be sufficient but there are other devises (as small airplanes) that are better solutions. In the past several 'teeners have posted good information on this subject. Please, try to inform everyone about this potential danger. Brad Attached image(s)

Thanks for the post Brad.
CO poisoning is one of my (many) areas of paranoia. Never occurred to me to keep a detector in the car becaused of the HE's. I do have a detector in our house. For those who think they can smell the CO, it is a clear odorless gas. Olin |
