My car has an "external" does this NEED to come in contact with combustion gasses to work ?

Mine was an internal leak, and to my knowledge it is activated by simply by temperature differentials at the leak point. From what I understand, it is supposed to work with external leaks too.

Depends upon the length of the hose and length of time the engine is on. I found that a 2007 Honda CR-V (an ELEV engine) doesn't produce enough carbon monoxide to gas a fly. However, an early model diesel engine does a good job. If you can get a canister of CO2, that does an even better job.

No. Its use is based on an a sensor component (air monitoring system), versus the actual combustion process. As long as there is a mass air flow sensor it would work.

I installed in the engine bay near the battery to keep it dry.... all wiring should be kept away from the exhaust

No it does not have to be vented to the outside via a vent. Exhaust works fine within it's self.

As long as your exhaust system has an O2 sensor bung, then yes. If your exhaust does not have one, you must weld a bung onto it first

It will work only if coolant is present on oil. If exhaust is present in radiator it won't work unless you remove the spark plugs from where the exhaust is escaping and run the engine without the spark plugs. this method is harder to repair.

Yes but you should make sure you maintain the fuel system, clean injectors, air filter, etc. I recommend using sea foam fuel additive to clean out the carbon from the spark plugs. The tuner works best if everything is working properly.

I had the same issue but I had to adjust the external air baffle and now it works great. The external air baffle is right under the regulator.

Yes, in addition to external venting, it has charcoal filters internally which need to be cleaned periodically.

The system works off of a magnet on the rear drive shaft so it works all on its own from reading the ignition feed from the coil. So nothing else is required.

No, this is designed to be installed inline somewhere between the fan and the exterior vent. It's not designed for external use.

Incidental contact with gasoline will not be a problem. As for heat, well how hot is hot? I'm sure you could melt it/burn it with Propane or MAPP gas, if you're thinking of using on engine parts things other than exhaust manifolds should be fine. As always proper surface prep is key.

No it needs a connection to the sensor to work. The guage has wires for a 12v power supply, and also wires for the supplied sensor. So you need to install the sensor in your engine's water system and then hook that sensor up to the guage. Those wires are all included.

No, you need to use it in a well ventalated space. As the pump pulls a vaccum - the exhaust has a fine mist of oil vaper. Vent it to the outside. LP

The conection on this item are incorrect for any gas,it would leak out the side and be very dangerous. Gas is not something that has a flimsy connection.

Yes, it can you simply use the included cigarette lighter connector but remember most autos won't charge to this connection when the ignition is off.
