May need to run my Land Rover for a sustained period in the garage and am not wanting to pass out with the fumes. Whilst opening the main door and side door will provide some ventilation how effective would be adding a pipe to the exhaust and trailing it outside and out of the way (potentially onto the roof)?

I've not checked the temperature of the exhaust pipe if it will melt plastic pipe but more thinking of if the pipe will need assistance with airflow (i.e. an in line fan).

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Richard
 
You could try a shower/bathroom extraction fan and corrugated tubing to extract it. Only thing is the temp may melt the tube so you may need to fab a cone to fit them together.

That's what I was thinking: just need to make something to go from 2" to 4" to connect to the extractor fax. Have an old tumble dryer kit which has an aluminium duct so look to use that.

Theoretically you'll melt any plastic or rubber pipe, although I think a fair bit of heat is lost by conduction before the gas gets to the tailpipe and you might get away with it. Safest would be to get something like a 200 cu metres/hour fan and a 4" pipe mounted next (but not joined ) to the exhaust so that it sucks cool fresh air too. (Rough calc says about 75 cubic metres/hour exhaust gas at idle).
 
When you’ve got it running leave the garage door open and get the wife to stand behind it with a sheet of cardboard and fan the fumes away. :);)
 
Rent a forced air /extractor fan and ducting for the day fir not much money and dont run the xhance of killing yer self.
