If the gas on the burner is burring all the fuel then the bi product is water vapor. But if the gas does not burn all the fuel or the gas and air mixture is off then it produces carbon monoxide. If Piedmont gas company checks the furnace and they find a crack they turn it off and red tag the furnace and will not cut the gas back on till a qualified service tech repairers the problem. If we find a crack we cut off furnace and have the owner sigh a waver so you don't sue us if you get co poisoning. But you can cut it back on (we show you the switch) Bottom line if you have a crack in your furnace replace the furnace. Even if co is not coming into the house flu gas are coming inside the same gas that goes up the chimney. The air that blows accross the heat exchanger will pick mix with the fire inside the heat exchanger. The bigger the crack the more flu gas will mix with your air in the house. The longer the furnace runs (like a 20 deg night ) the crack will get larger. thanks Eddie NO, and Yes. If the gas on the burner is burring all the fuel then the bi product is water vapor.
