Sometimes, at the butterfly exhaust heat riser valve, gases can leak out of
the hinge, blow a pencil sized hole in the floorpan, burn through the
carpet, and voila. I would look at it this way -- figure the floor pans are
sealed so the gas comes either from the cowl (doubtful), from the doors,
also doubtful, or from the rear hatch. I use my car for everything and when
I haul stuff in the back with the hatch open, the carbon monoxide turns my
blood blue. Kim
