If & when I run the engine on my car in the garage I also hook-up the
outside exhaust tubes, I also have a carbon monoxide detector present in
the garage and also I think ALL FUMES will spread throughout your garage
with or without a pit, but then I did not realize with a lift they came
with all these so called safety protections. If people would just take a
little better care of their car they would not have all this fuel
leaking in the garage and such dangerous places to not only work in but
also live in. If'n you ain't tried it don't knock it, my garage is
probably much safer and better maintained than most, and it is used
EVERYDAY. Just me & my $1000.00 PIT and happy as hell to have it.
