I was thinking the same thing. That sounds like a super bad idea. What
happens if you're welding this thin sheet metal and blow a hole through
it and the gas starts leaking out?!
As far as the "explosive gas" I guess you mean CO? Any car with a
properly functioning fuel injection and catalytic converter(s) should
have nearly zero CO content; ditto for unburned gas or oxygen. So if
you're ever in the mood to kill yourself, don't do the old "car in the
closed garage" trick. It don't work anymore!
