Re: Cracked heat exchanger

Dear Deke,
Please spend some time and research the difference between CO
and CO2. Yes, there is a difference.
I havn't any links, but I've heard from people I respect that
a cracked heat exchanger can put enough carbon monoxide into the
home to be dangerous. You'll have to figure out what's the
chemical symbol of carbon monoxide, adn what's the other spelling
used for.

Man, you really are a clueless twit...

You make Chris look like a professional.

I will suggest AGAIN, that you quit posting about a subject, that you know
NOTHING about.

Al Gore is a CO2 detector. He can be bought.
