This is exactly the kind of equation that was missing from the original fact poster guy. The numbers dont mean anything in isolation...

The other point Dabop does not seem to appreciate is that the engine produces a greater volume of exhaust gas than the volume of air it...

Assume an engine when running consumes all the oxygen in the air it ingests, and: 2.0 litre 4 cylinder engine idling speed 700 rpm gas...

Poisoned by CO or suffocated by CO2 and lack of oxygen - it could be fatal to run a fuel burning device in an unventilated space...

But I’m afraid the numbers you googled, do not show that. You are extrapolating, and making (quite wild) assumptions. The numbers show...

Unfortunately not. The reason being that the engine is actually much more efficient than we are at using the available oxygen. So yes...

I have absolutely no desire to get into the unnecessarily antagonist debate above but I wondered if lack of oxygen to the car engine...

If the individual was inside the vehicle and it was pretty well sealed with a pipe from the exhaust, where the engine got it's oxygen...

Go and put your hand over your exhaust pipe with the engine running. You will notice there is a significant pressure. Now consider some...

As teenagers would often respond "Whatever" Be as pedantic as you like, I'm done here.

Reading through the posts is it not the case that before improvements were made to petrol and diesel engines the exhaust fumes would...

I think we will agree to disagree on this for the sake of other members on the forum. J

Agreed but you seem to carry on. Basic understanding air goes into the engine, oxygen from that air is removed and the resultant gases...

I'm sure there's a Darwin Award in the making here :)

I give up. You are obsessed with CO, which accounts for around 0.2% of the exhaust gas. The other 99.08% is a cocktail of gases none of...
