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)

You can get a CO detector the size of a pack of cigarettes for $20 at Home Depot. Runs on a single 9v. I installed one under my dash...out of site, but not out of mind.

I like that it shows the PPM. Mine has gone off a couple of times and made it up to 20 PPM. I don't think that my exchangers are leaking, as I know that I have an exhaust leak at the heads that I need to fix. http://m.homedepot.com/p/Kidde-Carbon-Mono...8042/100311681/ |
