Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a toxic, odorless, and tasteless gas produced by the incomplete combustion of gasoline, kerosene, natural gas, butane, propane, fuel oil, wood, coal, and other fossil fuels. Dangerous levels of CO can be produced by internal combustion engines or from any poorly vented or improperly adjusted fuel-burning appliance. Exposure to CO may cause sickness, headaches, or even death. Prevent from Carbon Poisoning.
How does it Test?
- Remove from sealed packet only when ready to use
- Replace after 12 months or when the spot darkens.
- If CO is present the spot will turn GRAY or BLACK. The spot will return to the original color when fresh.
- Shelf life for an unopened package is 3 years. (See date in package)

This Carbon Monoxide Detector can save a pilot’s life, especially when flying with the heater on, by warning of the presence of CO in the cockpit—the spot will turn gray/black when CO is in the air. The spot on the detector returns to normal color after it is exposed to fresh air.
Uses include:
- Airplanes
- Cars
- Fuel Trucks
- Grass Cutting Equipment
- Tugs
- Campers
- And More!
CAUTION: Detector will be damaged by the presence of halogens (iodine, chlorine, bromine), ammonia and nitrous gases. Do not use near diesel engines. Harsh direct sunlight will tend to bleach out indicator spots and shorten useful life.
