Protecting Your Car Collection: Exhaust Removal Solutions
For many collectors, the garage isn't just a storage space — it’s a showroom, workshop, and often a social setting where enthusiasts gather to admire and discuss projects. Within these specialized spaces, there’s a serious health concern that deserves attention.
Every time a car runs idle in an enclosed space, you're exposed to a mix of harmful compounds that can pose significant health risks. This danger increases during essential maintenance routines that keep classic cars in top condition.
Whether you're conducting your monthly startup, warming up a vintage carburetor, or running diagnostics on a new project car, each moment spent in an enclosed space with running engines exposes you and fellow enthusiasts to hazardous emissions.
The risk grows during extended maintenance sessions or when working with multiple vehicles. Carbon monoxide—odorless and invisible—can quickly reach dangerous levels in closed environments.
Other harmful compounds like benzene and nitrogen dioxide, common in classic car exhaust, can cause immediate respiratory issues and long-term health concerns. For collectors who spend countless hours in their garages, ensuring proper exhaust removal is about more than convenience — it’s about protecting your well-being while enjoying your collection.
WARNING: Vehicle Exhaust is extremely dangerous and potentially deadly. We always recommend that any system be properly engineered to meet the specifications of your application. If you are using our Crushproof system, we recommend that you use it with a fan and as an intermittent repair solution only, not to be run for long periods of time. This hose is to be used only with naturally aspirated 4 cycle engines running at an idle and under no load. We recommend keeping any run of hose as short as possible preferably 11' or under and sized to include ambient air to cool the exhaust temperatures. This hose is designed to handle frequent temperatures up to 400° and intermittent temperatures to 600°. When using Crushproof hose for the first time, watch closely to verify that the exhaust is exiting the building as designed. IF YOU SEE ANY EXHAUST COMING BACK INTO THE SPACE, THE HOSE IS NOT BEING USED PROPERLY. TURN THE VEHICLE OFF IMMEDIATELY AND CALL OUR EXPERTS.
