How do we prevent it in our cars?

 

what is outgassing?

 

more so in how outgassing relates to an automobile?

 

I kinda like outgassing. It's like sh***ing without the mess.

 

 

This thread needs to be outgassed.

 

i dont know if our cars have enough HP to leave the earth's atmosphere so i dont know if NASA has looked into it for our cars yet....

 

Don't try and launch it in to space!

 

I have heard this term used in connection with cars. In fact, it was used by a friend of mine that works at an Acura dealer. Regardless of whether the term is being used correctly or not, it is my understanding that the term is intended to apply to the release of any solvents, conditioners and the like from the interior materials of a car, generally plastics, leather, vinyl and carpeting. It is the release of these materials that causes a slight haze on the interior glass and mirrors. I was told that there is very little that can be done about it, except wait it out and clean these interior surfaces. My experience has been that after a few warm months, the outgassing stops (at least noticeably)....

 

worst thread of the year or runner up.

how do we precent the car from ingassing?

answer: stick a trout in your mouth yo.

you really do start worthless threads man, but at least they become funny

 

jlukja, who guessed that "outgassing" meant overfilling your tank till the gas leaked out.

 

:troutslap

beat ya

 

Thats two this week from him

 

And to answer the silly question...

To prevent it, don't overfill the tank. When the valve shuts off, it's done. No more. No más. Niet meer. Nicht mehr. Nient'altro. Não mais.

Outgassing is mentioned once in the whole article...

And you should have made it clearer in your original post. Would have been less confusion.

 

i thought it was like vapor-lock or something....

 

He loves fucking with us.

Damn Elepahant Nosefaces's

 

i for one like the "new car smell" so i am going to promote, as dzuy said, 'ingassing'

 

this is a reasonable quesiton, but you have to be a bit more descriptive in the first post.

 

 

Somehow, I think dzuy idea of "ingassing" might not be what you're thinking...

 

That was a complete waste of three minutes.

 

???

:troutslap

 

I'm kinda enjoying all the silly replies to the original post, so if he would have made it more clear to start, it would have been a much more boring thread.

I guess I shouldn't beat my wife anymore and blame her for the window haze caused by smoking in the car. I wonder if she outgasses?

 

you should never beat your wife.

:troutslap

 

I only do it with a soft fish ...I can hear it coming, don't ask "do what" and don't ask what I'm hearing coming ....errr I better shut up.

 

do what.

:troutslap

 

No wonder it smells like fish...

 

Aaaarrrrgggghhhh....the troutslap has invaded another thread.

 

Ahem! Back in order folks! Enough with the troutslap. Use it wisely dzuy, because it will definitely disappear someday if you don't.



That being said elephant, I didn't know what outgassing was, but found your references an interesting read.

I am one of those who thoroughly enjoy the smell of outgassing. It's a shame it doesn't last longer.

Still, admit you gotta love the humor round here.

 

use it wisely ? a bit oxymoronic isn't it ?
dont understand WTF you guys are waitin for...so fuckin sick of seeing that :shakehead

 

Sir Matelot,
I think you're on to a better topic for a new post.
Better than this piece of

 

How about laying off the beans and cabbage.

 

Finally, a serious response to the original post about stopping outgassing in a TSX. I try really hard not to outgas inmy TSX, and luckily I've not done it yet. Well, once, but I had the windows down. It really takes away from that "new car smell" when outgassing occurs.
I have carpool riders, and I guess eventually they'll outgas at some time, but I don't know how to prevent it, so like the initiator of this thread, I am concerned about it. As mentioned before, a thin film of gaseous emittants is deposited over the surface of the interior, most noticeable on glass, etc. Of course, the outgassing is noticeable in other ways, too. A lighter or match will help a bit. When my wife eats chocolate cake, she really outgasses ... If you've ever seen video footage of volcanologists attempting to approach a crater spewing lava, dressed up in one of those bulky heat-protective suits and handling samples with tongs, you've got a mental picture of the dangerous consequences of chocolate cake outgassing. Thought I'd share.

 

Thanks for sharing nagidizy!

 

This thread is cracking me up. Oops, did I say crack?

 

Don't eat at Taco Bell?


I dunno if I would call it outgassing, but when I first bought my TSX the ebony interior had little flecks of silver, which I always assumed was from the dash, as it was the exact same color as the silver trim and looked the same. There seemed to be quite a bit of it on the back seat. Vacuumed right up, though.
