Thanks for this informative post. I am curious of how many Ford Explorers that you have tested, and of that number, how many did you find CO levels inside of the cabin? Are there any specific brands of CO detectors that you can recommend to take these measurements in our own cars, without breaking the bank? Thanks again...
So far I have checked only 3, but CO was over 20ppm in all of them (all unmodified),
vs CO in ambient air less than 1ppm.
As for professional portable CO detectors that can display accurately from 1ppm, anything you can find via Google in the $100 to $300 range should be sufficiently accurate, but most of these devices can only record a peak CO level, not continuously. I have just ordered several new models for testing that retail for under $75 and will let the forum know if any are sufficiently accurate for this application.
