Boiler servicing

Well we have all read about people falling asleep through carbon monoxide poison. If it's not carbon monoxide poison that kills them. What is it?

Read the above AGAIN, and now with due attention.
It is the CO, but the CO does NOT come from gasleaks. Most common sources are gasfires, gas cookers and really old gasboilers that are either wrongly installed, wrongly altered, or not serviced properly.

Well you seem to try very hard on MSE and largely succeed!

I don't think you are sharp enough to be a troll - it just comes naturally.

Do you get a thrill out of your posting style?

Yes Bengasman is a troll all right not a very bright one at that

Towns gas (from coal) used to have carbon monoxide in it in its raw state which is why people used to die from sticking their heads in the oven. It hasn't been used in the uk for 40 odd years though it may possibly be used in other countries. Natural gas has no co in it though I guess you could suffocate if the oxygen was diluted enough.

Next time you make comments about someone's intelligence, you might try using the required punctuation.
It is typical for the uneducated to resort to offensive comments based on nothing, when exposed as a lightweight.
Another Labour voter perchance, or is it the Socialist Party that floats your boat?

I assume by you post you must be educated then. Your vague attempt to troll the forums has to some regulars not gone unnoticed.

I fail to see what punctuation has anything to do with intelligence, many posts myself including often dont use it properly, does that make all of us stupid then?

Indeed your own post is lacking proper punctuation but if you going to pull people up about it perhaps you ought to get your own house in order.

You assume correctly.

We all make mistakes and I am usually not bothered with proofreading my own posts, but commenting on somebody's intelligence with a sentence that is so badly constructed as the above, is not exactly a bright move. Even less so, when said accusations are based on nothing, and clearly only a reaction to being repeatedly shown to be wrong.

Being wrong doesn't make you dumb either by the way, but loudmouthing when exposed, does.

Or "displaced" enough.

"It caused what is normally a harmless gas to be pumped into the wall cavity and leak into the women's restroom," said Pooler Police Chief Mark Revenew. "At a high level of concentration, it displaces oxygen."

A good murder plot for a movie. You pump nitrogen into somebody's bedroom, which then disperses. A good variation on the ice bullet.

1969 IIRC. Any with the orange tape around the pipe off their gas meter will still have the same regulator as when it was converted to natural gas.

The orange tape was put there to state it had been converted/checked.

By the way, I'm not going to breath in natural gas to test everyone's statements either!
