Heated Garage or not?

Re: Heated Garage or not?
Just as a follow-up to the two types of fuel heat I use (propane and
kerosene), I did some trending in my garage with a continuous reading CO
(carbon Monoxide) sensor. I used an MSHA approved sensor that we
manufacture at work for use in underground coal mines. I found that my
vent-less propane heater emits practically no CO over several hours. The
kerosene heater raises levels to 8-10 ppm over a several hour period. I
have no windows or doors open, insulated 30'x36' garage. Just FYI.

Re: Heated Garage or not?
Thanks for the follow up! It is good to know.
So for your particular set of leaks in the garage, it would take a while
to harm you right?
I also believe that as the O2 goes down in your 'sealed' garage, the CO
levels will raise exponentially because CO is a byproduct of incomplete
combustion.
That is why the kerosene heaters call for so many square inches/BTU of
fresh air 'intake'. They don't call it venting, here is a quote: 'never
use in a closed area without providing fresh air'.
