Operation:  
The transparent cylinder of the tester contains a blue reaction fluid which turns yellow when exposed to air which contains the slightest amounts of carbon monoxide. When the test fluid is exposed to fresh air, it regenerates, i.e. turns blue again. The fluid can be checked by exposing it to exhaust emissions from the exhaust pipe. The test fluid should then turn yellow.
