Have u ever had your CO detector go off because of a neighbor s generator exhaust. Is there a recognized rule of thumb for yardage for a safe distance? Even if weather conditions are at the very ...
If a neighbor's generator is setting off your CO detector, it is time to ask (demand) that the neighbor do something about it; either turn off the generator or install/use a Genturi or other diversion device. There is no "set" distance because conditions can and do vary the results (breeze, distance, proximity, temperature, etc). As you said, lots of variables, but none of them matter when your detector goes off.
