Guy used brake cleaner to clean parts before welding. The heat created phosgene gas and almost killed him. Quote:

Never really put that much thought into it. Thanks for the heads up and I'll prolly be reading stuff from now on

Thank you for Jeff for posting this. I'm sure alot of people do things without even considering the results or consequences of their actions. Most all of us work with or around some very nasty chemicals, solvents etc. it always good to have a reminder to be careful and think before you do something.

I thought I was a goner a few years back from using brake clean with a torpedo heater running in the shop. it was 0 outside . I crawled out of the shop on my hands and knees. sat outside in the cold for 10 min before I could breathe good enough to walk into the house.

years ago my boss made the mistake of using it to find a vacuam leak in a customers car. once that made its way into the engine and out the exhaust,we evacuated the entire shop. he thought it was carb cleaner.....

Backed off yesterday cleaning something with Bk then grinding. I've probably done this before. I/ve read this before and will be using less BK. I still like to clean my glasses with it though. Mike
