Carbon Monoxide inside Your Car. Did you know that when you start your car in cold weather, your automobile could produce up to 80,000 PPM of Carbon Monoxide? When cold motors and car engins first start, they run very rich in fuel. During a cold night, the automobile motor, catalytic converter and fuel becomes very cold. When the catalytic converter is cold, it will not convert the deadly carbon monoxide (CO) to carbon dioxide (CO2). In cold weather do not start your cold car with the garage door close. Some of these fumes may infiltrate inside your home. Do not start you car with the garage door open letting it warm up for several minutes while the car is still in the garage. Even with the garage door open, deadly fumes can build to lethal concentrations which may still infiltrate into your home. Additionally, some of these fumes seep and infiltrate into the interior of your car, especially, if the car door is open and are sitting in your car waiting for it to warm up.
This may not happen as often in Florida or Hawaii but it can happen in 70 of the USA cities were it snows or gets cold. For many years, I have been testing this “carbon monoxide in my car phenomenon”. All cars that I tested produced some levels Carbon Monoxide within the interior car with levels ranging between 10 up to 100 PPM of Carbon Monoxide. Older cars produced higher levels. Carbon Monoxide can make you sick even at these low levels. I remember one homeowner taking all types of prescription drugs because she though her house made her sick. Her husband would back his car into the garage. He would cold start the car during a winter morning with the garage door closed. He then opened the garatge door, pulled the car out of the garage, closed the garage door, and drove to work. The trapped carbon monoxide in the garage slowly entered the home sickening his wife.
A few safety rules.
• Never start your car with the garage door closed.
• You should never run car motors or any gas motor in a garage, even if the garage door is open.
• You should never back your car into the garage.
• Make sure your car passes the E-CHECK and make sure it is always tuned up.
• Always repair your exhaust system if it leaks, has odor, or makes noise.
• Finally, start your car with the garage door open. Quickly pull the car out of the garage. Pull the car far away from the garage (20-50 feet away). Quickly get out of the car and leave car windows open. Wait 5 minutes until the car warms up. This will also allow some time for the garage to air out the start up fumes. During this 5 minute wait (you should not be in your car), your car will also air out. After 5 minutes, close the garage door. Get into your car and drive away with the car windows open for at leat one more minute to make sure the interior of your car has clean air. You can also purchase digital Low Level CO detector for your car and one for you garage. You can go to my web site for more information on Low Level Carbon Monoxide Detectors.
