Quality Used Car Parts

Most of us are aware of the danger of carbon monoxide poisoning around the home coming from a leaky boiler, but many don't realise their car could be leaking the deadly gas too.

Being stuck in heavy traffic could be putting motorists even more at risk. 

The threat of exposure is real and it can cause devastating effects.

But you can take some measures to reduce the risks to almost nothing meaning you can drive your vehicle at ease.

There are a number of precautions you can take to reduce your risk of carbon monoxide poisoning in your vehicle.

Measures range from ensuring that your exhaust system is in good working order.

You could even install a portable carbon monoxide detector for extra safety.

Other tips include checking the exhaust system regularly.

Inspect and repair it frequently. Leaks can mean carbon monoxide enters your vehicle. 

Be sure your engine is tuned up and make sure your emissions system is regularly checked.

The concentration of carbon monoxide in the exhaust of newer cars is low, higher risk for older cars, so maybe it's a good time to scrap a car

Is your motor clocking on a bit? Scrap it!

Levels rise if the engine is out of tune or the emissions system is faulty. This is where you should consider replacing an engine with a safe reconditioned engine.

You should avoid driving a vehicle with holes in the floor or in the trunk, or with the trunk open.

Holes in the bottom of the car could mean exhaust fumes are entering your motor. 

This is notably dangerous if you sit in traffic quite a lot of the exhaust system has leaked.

Always avoid running your car inside a garage or any closed space.

Even if your windows are rolled up or the garage door is wide open you are still at great risk of carbon monoxide levels spiking to dangerous levels.

Stopping and starting your engine in a bid to keep your car warm can also generate more carbon monoxide fumes. 

It can generate more carbon monoxide than if you let it run continuously. 

Remember carbon monoxide is odourless and colourless, you cannot see it or smell it. 

A detector for your car will let you know if you're safe.

If you suspect your car isn’t safe, then don’t take risks.
