The initial symptoms of acute carbon monoxide poisoning include headache, nausea, malaise, and fatigue. [29] These symptoms are often mistaken for a virus such as influenza or other illnesses such as food poisoning or gastroenteritis. [21]
This causes an incomplete burn which causes the fumes to explode in the exhaust system along with an audible pop or bang sound. This is a result of working equipment, and is unlikely to cause damage. A fuel-injected engine may backfire if an intake leak is present (causing the engine to run lean), or a fuel injection component such as an air ...
Engine flooding was a common problem with carbureted cars, but newer fuel-injected ones are immune to the problem when operating within normal tolerances. Flooding usually occurs during starting, especially under cold conditions or because the accelerator has been pumped. It can also occur during hot starting; high temperatures may cause fuel ...
A study just published in an American Heart Association journal links atherosclerosis -- hardening of the arteries -- to car exhaust. The diesel exhaust fumes robbed what is generally known as ...
However, the tripartite mixture resulting from employing both EGR and PCV in an engine (i.e. exhaust gas, fresh air, and oil vapour) can cause the buildup of sticky tar in the intake manifold and valves. This mixture can also cause problems with components such as swirl flaps, where fitted. (These problems, which effectively take the form of an ...
Lead was first added to gasoline in 1927 to keep car engines healthy; its use was gradually taken off the market starting in the 1970s due to both health and environmental concerns, and phased out ...
Diesel exhaust is the exhaust gas produced by a diesel engine, plus any contained particulates. Its composition may vary with the fuel type, rate of consumption or speed of engine operation (e.g., idling or at speed or under load), and whether the engine is in an on-road vehicle, farm vehicle, locomotive, marine vessel, or stationary generator ...
