How Air Tight Is Your Car?

[Rogersk8ter]

Was driving somewhere in Jurong and all of a sudden inside the car sells of chemical. the smell lingers inside for quite sometime.

 

I believe my car is not air tight and air with funny smell leaks in. Anyway to improve the seal?

 

or it only happens to older cars? if i make love inside car will i die of poisoning?

[WTF]

If car is so air-tight, we'll be able to use it as a boat liao.........

[ER-3682]

Some European cars will run with 20% fresh air,even A/C is in Rec mode.

[Jordanplus]

If credit is air tight, ants & cockroaches won't make home in inside e car liao

[laugh]...... unless u put tube and pump the exhaust into ur car dont think u will die so easily

[Adrianli]

If car is air tight, will u even be able to breathe!!!

[Aventador]

Adrainli is correct

 

if your car is airtight, the air inside will start with about 21% oxygen level and this will slowly diminish and be replaced by carbon dioxide

 

then either you get light headed from insufficient oxygen and crash the car or suffocate and die from lack of oxygen

What you can do is shut off the air con completely when u smell something funny or u can see smog infront of you.

I guess some cars are really air tight.

Because I know some high end cars have designed one way valves to allow air to escape, to allow the door to shut properly. Some cars even lowered the windows slightly, to alow the door to shut properly too.

 

If one sleep in such cars without the aircon on or windows open, I think the CO level will rise easily and kill the driver.

 

Especcially in winter/autumn times, where no air is required, the long distance driver could be deadly. But I believe, the breath moisture will fog up the windshield, and the driver is naturally 'forced' to lower the windows occasionally to equalize the inside air to reduce fogging. Thereby reducing the risk of high level CO in such air tight cars!

The only car in the world I know is air tight is this :

must dive into water see whether it leak or not?? :huh:

this car also need to pay toll?

There are several ways to know if you have an airtight car and none of them are pleasant. That's because the passenger compartment of your car is not designed to be airtight. So its difficult both the ways.

max speed 60mph only?

Another car which is probably air tight -- James Bond's Lotus Esprit submarine car

U think your car is a space shuttle cabin? Air tight?

 

First, your back seat and car boot area is not air tight. Secondly, all your doors are not air tight. Thirdly, your air con system is not air tight. How to get fresh air if the car is totally 100% vacuum air tight??

 

 

[Masjojon]

I agree with Jordanplus

[Adrianli]

max speed 60mph only?

 

I dont know, have yet to driven one or be driven in one.
