JR, Puleeze.

Car exhaust is just not safe. Other suggestions in this thread are much more
compatible with continued breathing.

If dburl177 wants to purge with CO2 or water or argon in a well ventilated,
above ground work area, that'll work just fine. Pardon the sensitivity but
I lost a friend a couple months ago due to car exhaust. Granted, he made
an informed decision and hopefully passed away peacefully.

I don't think that was the OP's goal though.

Kind of interesting to watch this thread as pumping engine exhaust
into fuel tanks is exactly what many ships that transport hydrocarbon
liquids do and have done for many years.
