Well I'm happy if my battery has enough power to start the car in this
weather...

How long does it take to get brain damage from CO?


Dickhead. At the concentrations produced by a camping stove, long after
the CO2 level so bloody high, and the H2O level is so bloody high, that
the ****ing little gas cylinder will be exahausted. And the car will be
dripping wet.

It teaks 5 mnutes to boil a kettle. Do the calcs yourself and work out
how much oxygen it uses.


Hi,

I think the problem is dozing off, and not waking up.

How much gas is needed to consume all the oxygen in a car to the point
where dangerous levels of CO are produced?

I'd guess that with a new largish picnic stove cylinder it's a strong
possibility.

cheers,
Pete.
