Glow plugs should last for as long as 100,000 miles; they will gradually deteriorate due to wear and tear over this period. The good news is that not only are glow plugs incredibly long-lasting, they're also amongst the most cost-effective car parts to replace.

Most carbon monoxide detectors aren't all that sensitive. It's a shame, but it's true. A typical Kidde CO detector that you buy from a big box store only goes off when it detects CO concentrations of 40 PPM over 10 straight hours. And that's the lowest concentration that will sound the alarm!

If your detector is low on battery, you will likely hear a short chirp every minute. To warn of dangerous CO levels, most detectors will beep 4 or 5 times in a row about every 4 seconds.

Install at least one CO alarm on every floor and in sleeping areas. Make sure CO alarms are at least 15 feet away from cooking or heating appliances to prevent false alarms. Replace CO alarms every 5 to 7 years to benefit from the latest technology upgrades.

They are NOT required to warn of low-levels of CO. The UL standard requires detectors to alarm within 90 minutes when exposed to 100 ppm; 35 minutes when exposed to 200 ppm and 15 minutes when exposed to 400 ppm. Some detectors are more sensitive and will, when exposed for many hours, detect or alarm at lower levels.

How can you tell when your spark plugs need changing? Most modern spark plugs are made from ceramic and iridium or platinum, and should last for 60,000 miles or more. However they should be inspected every 30,000 miles or so, which will give you an idea of the health of the engine.

Long-life platinum and iridium spark plugs will typically last up to 100,000 miles or longer provided the engine isn't using oil or doesn't spend a lot of time idling. Replacing spark plugs at 100,000 miles can be troublesome on some applications.

New Ontario Law Makes Carbon Monoxide Detectors Mandatory They are now required near all sleeping areas in residential homes and in service rooms (boiler rooms or garbage rooms) and in multi-residential units. The devices range in price from $30-$60 and can be plugged in, hard-wired or battery operated.

The CO alarm will beep every 30 seconds or display ERR or END. If a CO alarm is at its end-of-life, replacing the battery will not stop the beep. Some CO alarms have a feature that will silence the signal for 30 days, but this will not solve the issue as the CO alarm will continue to beep after the 30 day period ends.

Carbon monoxide has a half-life in a human body of about 5 hours. This means that if you are breathing fresh, carbon monoxide-free air, it will take five hours to get half the carbon monoxide out of your system. Then it will take another five hours to cut that level in half, and so on.
