So with retirement I've transformed my garage (583 sqft) into a shop. I've started a frame off resto on an 87 ElCo and recently I can't stay in the shop more than a half hour without getting lightheaded. I don't notice any odors when I'm out there, but when I come in my hands always smell like fuel.
Two questions:
1) Would a large (440+ CFM) exhaust fan be a safe investment for air flow and fume removal?
2) What did I do wrong to cause all these vapors in the shop? I didn't notice a problem until I sawed through the exhaust to get to the driveshaft and removed the rear driver wheel to get to a brake leak. The brake fluid was really rotten so I emptied the reservoir.
Thanks for any input, this is my first time working on a car and this is all new to me.
