Jim Neville Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 Hello. Have my 1950 Windsor all setup for its long winter nap in my garage. Just wondering if anyone has used a aluminum dryer vent hose to hookup to the tailpipe to allow the fumes to escape out of the garage. I would like to start it up every week or so. I have a Carbon Monoxide detector setup in the garage to warn me of dangerous fume buildup. I know I could open the door but I would lose all the heat in the garage. Looked at buying one that they use in service centers but the price is crazy. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJK Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 Unless you plan on running it long enough to remove all moisture from the crankcase and exhaust system, you are better off installing a battery tender and letting it sit until spring.

DonaldSmith Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 I used aluminum dryer vent to allow running the car inside. (I would still keep the garage door open; Carbon monoxide gas settles to the bottom, after it cools.) (Photos to follow: outside louver; reducing the diameter of the pipe at the exhaust pipe. Stay tuned.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonaldSmith Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 Photos of dryer vent - exhaust connection. Lots of beating and muffler sealer at the transition to the exhaust pipe. Short piece of pipe fits over exhaust pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might want to add a 2nd CO detector and have 1 near the rear of the car and 1 on the other side. We have a CO2 detector in our house extra to the CO detector. CO2 high level isn't as harmful but can make you sluggish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 They do make kits specifically to do this. Up north where winter is a thing garages don't leave the door open, so they make kits to evacuate exhaust fumes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
