Garage exhaust ventilation
I need to reverse my car into a crappy pre fab concrete garage
I start the car twice a week for 30 mins to keep the battery charged. What is the best way to vent the garage when the engine is running? I have
considered some air conditioning pipe over the exhaust outlet and bring the other end outside
Is this the locost way or can you suggest abetter way? I have no power in the garage by the way
Cheers

I'd be using a small solar trickle charger rather than running it for that long. Much cheaper than the fuel.

As above, running up from cold is not geat for a engine. Running temperature is hard/impossible to get to from idle or with out load. This encourages
water to be absorbed into the oil and condensation in exhaust system. I would remove battery and trickle charge or maybe solar charger if a decent one
exists i.e. Somthing intelligent that will not overcharge.

I have used a length of old drain pipe and bends in the past.
Phoned the local ramblers club today, but the bloke who answered just
went on and on.

I'd go solar panel to a Optimate solar charge controller.

Most of your 1/2hr running will be putting back what you've used starting the car.
If you must, I'd use ac pipe and a boat bilge vent blower. Cheap, 12v and shift a lot of air. Lots available if you Google.

Running the car is the wordt thing to do. Either disconnect the battery, so it can't discharge, or as mentioned rig a small solar charger
somewhere
