Method Carbon Monoxide in car?

[snowlance]

I really want to leave this world if I get denied from disability again, so I plan to move out of my parents and be homeless in my car before I ctb. Is it still possible to die from carbon monoxide from a cars exhaust? I heard it's not anymore with some newer cars because of something called a catalytic convertor or something like that. Is it possible to interfere with that at all so it still works? I'm thinking maybe I could run a hose or something from my exhaust into the car. I'm not very experienced with cars though. How would I interfere with the convertor to allow myself to ctb in my car? Is there some other way? My car is a 2013 Ford Edge if that helps.
The only other method I can think of is hanging off a bridge but I'd prefer it not to be so sudden and would rather drift off to sleep

I'm not sure if you defeat the catalytic converter (remove it from the exhaust system) if there would be more CO or not. (A search could tell you what the catalytic converter actually does). It may be that CO is minimal because of better engine productions even without converter. If you could find a '60s vehicle that would probably produce the CO levels you would need. Especially if poorly tuned. What is in the news lately especially during the winter months is CO deaths due to gasoline generators being operated too close to, or even inside of, homes. These devices do not have catalytic converters, and typically use carburetors instead of fuel injection.

Judging from a google search, it does appear as if removing the catalytic converter would enable the production of more CO and other pollutants. I do agree though that it's likely only a marginal difference.

A generator seems to be a much better idea if CO is the method.

Disabilty is so hard to get . Took me 3 years, being denied 3 times 2 hearings with a judge to get in the USA. Sorry OP

I wonder if just burning charcoal in my car could produce enough co2, or the generator method in my car

Disposable charcoal BBQ in the car, so you have a smaller area tò fill with CO

This is also what I am thinking, because those who did it in tents are only using simple mechanics and yet it did well… Your fireproof container, briquette, fire, and should you be all set? Around how long before it starts to take effect..?

Would Chemical suicide be a more reliable method?

you've asked this on 3 unrelated posts. detergent is not a recommended way to go. i would advise you to look at the pinned posts and read up on non-methods and do some research on actual methods instead of posting this on random threads.

Some fancy generators have carbon monoxide detectors that will shut it down but most do not. And they do produce a lot of carbon monoxide. But a pre-70s car would do it as well.

Most hose will have a difficult time surviving the heat in exhaust. A mechanics shop has a special hose that can take the heat.. Online they are $90 to $115 plus $40 for the adapter.
There are cheaper methods with better reliability.

What kind of disability if you don't mind me asking?

They make flexible metal exhaust "hose" that could be attached to a vehicles tailpipe. But, to do so, you are going to need some type of mechanical skills since it will involve purchasing the correct adapters, clamps, etc and properly attaching everything to the tailpipe and each other. Then you'd have to route the flexible metal tubing up to a partially open car window, secure it, and then seal around it. Also, there are other places in the vehicle that would need to be sealed in order to help contain the CO inside of the vehicle's cabin.

Perhap's even the more challenging job for you would be to crawl under your vehicle with a metal cutting saw and remove the catalytic converter. First, you would have to identify the catalytic converter, which may be difficult if you have no experience with vehicle exhaust systems. Then you would have to cut it out. Now, if you made it this far, it would be much more efficient to just attach that flexible metal tubing right to the upstream pipe of where the catalytic converter "was", instead of inserting and securing a piece of exhaust pipe in place of the catalytic converter you removed, so that the exhaust would still exit the tailpipe. Again, it would take mechanical skills and know-how to utilize adapters and clamps to attach the flexible metal tubing to the exhaust pipe underneath the vehicle.

Sound like too much?

Just use charcoal. Read up on it.
