Get something like this... it shows actual co2 and a buzzer to wake you if too high. Im sure lowes would have it and plenty of room to get into withtruck while you shop.

Safety first driver

Glad to hear it's working well

 

All you guys worried about carbon monoxide must not have been around when 100 trucks sat a truck stop, all with engines running puking out all sorts of nasty fumes. I know I slept well. I know it is wise to be safe but don't overthink it.

 

The point is not the trucks running, but the low exhaust exit. Weedburners are almost more common than stacks any more. To my mind, getting the exhaust fumes up and into the wind is less of a concern than your neighbor's truck (or APU) dumping its fumes just under your sleeper window. Of course, it could all be in my head.

 

Diesel don't produce carbon monoxide. At the levels of a gasoline engine, and by the way. Carbon monoxide is CO, carbon dioxide is co2, coCoos the fizz in coke,

 

Ok a semi has a 15 liter engine and they run all night. A generator has a 0.2L engine . As long as the exhaust isn't right in the cab or next to an opening to the cab you should be fine.

 

With an APU you'll have to keep track of its yearly hours for tax purposes. From there you can only write off the diesel fuel taxes from the burn rate which is fair to you and fair to the government.

With a gasoline generator, you can write off 100% of the gasoline purchased, not just the road taxes.

 

I found it simpler to pump reefer fuel into the truck.

 

You are a bit off with that assessment of the deduction. You can deduct the full amount of the diesel purchased to run the APU. No different than the gasoline for a generator. You keep track of the hours if you wish to separate those gallons from your ifta. But any fuel purchased for the apu can be deducted just like the gasoline, you are confused that deduction with getting a refund of the road taxes paid on fuel used off road you can in fact do that with gasoline used off road, same as c reefer fuel, and the APU controller keeps the hours read it Jan 1 and Dec 31st.
