Sorry guys I had no right ,Have made many mistakes in my day last night being one of them.Al

Guys he came back and apologized ^^^ we all make mistakes, good to see someone big enough to admit to them if you ask me.

Back to the thread, it's been a good wakeup call for me, I'll be working on putting CO detectors in the shop now.

I wonder if a regular battery powered one would work in my ambulance?

 

[billyzz]

I just read that home ones are only supposed to last five to seven years

I wonder if a regular battery powered one would work in my ambulance?

Yeah actually I was thinking about wiring up a home one in a vehicle but I wonder if they would be too sensitive. Probably not calibrated to have the occasional puff of exhaust.

Thanks all for the warnings.

I use the van of my M1079 for camping in the winter. I have a Big Buddy propane heater (it shuts off in O2 level is low) but I also bought a carbon monoxide detector.
Per the instructions I mounted it high on the wall and I test it each night before turning on the heater.

Two local folks out for a ride in the woods on Friday, were found yesterday. They did not make it.
Carbon monoxide is no joke!

Man another good reminder here, heard also on another forum this week of a mother and child who died in the car while waiting for the husband to finish digging it out...definitely a wake up call for me on this one

I use this as my key ring. A foot from the CUCV exhaust, it measures about 150 PPM. In the cab, the highest I've measured is 8 PPM, after idling without a breeze. I read that OSHA says 50 PPM is the safe limit for 8 hr exposure. I've measured 5 PPM in my wife's Jetta, sitting in traffic.

I trust the guys at Aeromedix to carry solid gear. I'm not connected with them, just a happy customer. They have newer models available now.

I want to get one for my siblings and mother, but *ouch*, pricey little bugger.

I often wonder if home owner's associations, local building codes, and homeowners understand why chimneys were built the way they were in victorian times:

Hint, they were very tall over the roof lines for a REASON.

I got a M393 A-2 Series Exhaust set up if that's what you are working on.

I remember years ago, while in the maintenance sweep for a convoy, we trailed an OLD M-816 gasser up to Grayling Mi. from Ohio. That truck never ran quite right, and I remember smelling it's exhaust all day during the convoy. My co-driver and I were a bit loopy by the time we got to Camp Grayling. It just goes to show, under the right conditions it doesn't even have to be your vehicle that a danger to you. If I remember right, that truck was built in '53, and it was the oldest truck in our unit, (we had it until the late '80's) and the only gasser in the motor pool. It was a real dog.
