Ok guys want to make this a sticky, this is something that could save your life easy. Found this on another car forum, I had forgotten about this. The issue is using brake cleaner and certain other solvents to clean parts before welding, or in our case to find vaccume leaks on our engines, brake cleaner or carb cleaner, many of these solvents will do the exact same thing. The issue is some of these chemicals break down when burned into Phosgene gas, this stuff will KILL you, if it doesn't it can mess you up for the rest of your life. It may not kill you that second,but in a few hours, or a couple of days you may die a horrible death. THERE IS NO ANTIDOTE FOR PHOSGENE GAS POISONING!! once you get poisoned you just hope you will survive. what produces it when burned are certain chlorinated brake cleaners,carb cleaners, and burning R12 refrigerant. here's a link to someones personal experience, everyone please read this, I want everyone safe. http://www.brewracingframes.com/id75.htm
