[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

gas detectors detect leaking gas. CO detect gasses released by fire. the danger with gas is not poisoning but explosion. CO detectors are really not that relevant for gas, because they only react when it's too late?[/quote]

Jesus OP.

CO detectors detect CO which is a byproduct of combustion that isn’t properly vented or something is wrong. [b]This can happen if your appliance is malfunctioning and/or your venting is malfunctioning for any operating gas appliance: water heater, furnace, stove, fireplace, etc…[/b]

CO is deadly and undetectable.

Gas Leaks are very detectable and the reason gas detectors aren’t common is because 999/1000 times in the rare event of a gas leak you will smell it. [/quote]

sorry, i don't understand this part. what is burning there and releasing CO? sorry, i am just trying to understand.[/quote]

Did you graduate high school? Gas is burning in a gas appliance. It feels like OP is being intentionally obtuse. [/quote]

yes, i did graduate high school. i am phd, in fact  :lol: 
as the title says - i am new to gas. i literally know nothing about it - what is it and where it comes from. i don't understand how it is supplied, or how it heats. a gas stove and a gas fireplace are a bit more clear, because i can see the gas burning. but a gas stove can't burn gas and release CO if it's off, right?[/quote]

No, it can have other issues but unlikely.

The CO danger comes from furnaces, water heaters, fireplaces mostly. [/quote]
