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 Brad, for this priceless info.
From my understanding the SSI was not stock? How do you identify SSI vs stock systems ? |
