    Blame it on the marketing dept!

    This could be “blamed” on the marketing dept! Most of us understand that be it gas,oil,coal,etc. it’s “dirty” and needs to be cleaned and adjusted yearly. However, due to great marketing most of the general pubic think, gas the clean, modern, fuel. Just put it in pay the gas bill and forget it! I cannot begin to count how many plugged gas systems I have found over the years. If you use it for heat, please have it serviced yearly! to avoid problems like this.

    I posted a link


    about this this morning.

    The landlord will be looking at a few fines at least.

    If you follow the link on the "CO again" thread for this story, you will be amazed at how close these kids really came.

    They were passing out in the home weeks before this happened! A trip to the hospital and the doctors could find nothing wrong!

    Doctors need to test too!

    your right

    it take a hole chemistry lesson to get
    people to understand how soot comes out
    of gas, they think if they cant see the carbon
    in the hydro-carbon - it aint there, then i
    tell them that they eat soot in their food
    (hey carbs is carbs) and exhale it with every
    breath that, like totaly freaks them!!!!
