Hey guys ChrisFix here
And today i'm gonna show you how to build your very own fart odor remover for your car or truck. Yes
I know it sounds like a joke. Yes. I know it sounds funny
But I am being dead serious. This works so
well
And it's gonna save you from the embarrassment of whoever smelt it, dealt it.
So I'm building this pass gas odor remover because recently I went on a
12-hour
road trip with my friend down the east coast and on the way we stopped at south of the border for lunch not thinking about
The consequences we had bean burritos and we filled up
Let's just say for the rest of that trip every time one of us rolled down one of the windows
We knew what that meant
So being the problem solver I am I thought how can I get rid of the smell in somebody farts?
And here's what I came up with to visualize a fart
Here's some smoke. And when I flip this switch a vent at the bottom of the seat sucks
The passed gas right out from under you and then in the seat
There's a charcoal filter that removes the odor. So there's no smell. Well today. I'm gonna show you how to do exactly that
So if you your passenger think you're about to pass some gas
Don't worry about it flip the switch and boom no smell as long as you're quiet about it. Nobody will ever know
So let me show you how we're gonna build this and here are all the tools and products
You're gonna need to get this job done as always
I like to put on my safety glasses to start and now looking at the tools
These are very basic tools common stuff that a lot of people have already but more important are the products
Let's start out with the fins right here. We have two 12-volt fans similar to computer fans. So they're quiet only 27 decibels
That means when you turn them on you're not going to hear it
Which is exactly what you want because otherwise you could just roll down the window. So 27 decibels perfect level yet
These are 45 cubic feet per minute fans
So that means they're gonna be pumping
90 cubic feet per minute to suck that fart right out of the air and a typical fart is less than one cubic foot
So it's gonna take less than a second to get all that filtered out through our filter material now
This is also super important. This is a charcoal filter. This is what you would find in an air purifier
And what it does is it absorbs odors via chemical attraction?
So the surface area of activated charcoal is insanely high
So it's going to pull out that hydrogen sulfide and a methane that give farts their bad smell plus
It's a bit like the foam that's in our seat
So if we build this material you won't know that the foam is missing yet
It will breathe so our fan could pull that air through we also have a fuse tap a switch and then the piece de resistance
At the end of the video. I have this fart spray. This smells really really bad
So if I could squirt this in the car and not smell it we know we did a perfect job on installing this system
So that's all you need and I will link all these materials in the description from the carbon filter to the fans to the tools
I use that way you could replicate exactly and get your own fart remover installed
So with that let's begin and we're gonna be doing the passenger side since we already did the driver's side
I'm going to show you how to do the passenger side
And the first thing we need to do is remove the passenger seat and to do that
There's two bolts in the back and two bolts in the front. So let's get started removing these two front bolts
These are twelve millimeter bolts and that's one removed
and that's the other removed now slide the seat forward and let's remove both rear bolts one and
Two and with the seat free, let's carefully remove it from the car. So we don't damage anything and
Place it on our workbench. All right
So with our seat removed and on our workbench our fans are gonna go in the foam right about there
So what we need to do is we need to remove this lower portion of the seat and to do that
There are bolts hidden behind this plastic here. And actually I think they should be exposed on this side
Yeah, they're exposed on this side. You can see there's a bolt there and a bolt there. We need to remove those
So let's remove the bottom part of the seat to do that
We need to unscrew two Phillips head screws holding this trim on
That's the first one and then right over here is the second one
Then this seat back lever slides off like so and the plastic trim could come off now
There's two bolts on this side holding the seat cushion in one is right here and the other is right here next
Let's flip the seat around so we could get to the other two bolts on the other side and these bolts are in the exact
Same spot as the other ones. So with the bolts removed now, we could remove the seat bottom
All right, and with the bottom of our seat removed?
Let's flip this over and see what we have to work with
And that is exactly what I was hoping for we have bents in the bottom of our seat
So that is going to help let the filtered air through that way. We don't have to drill our own holes
So now we need to get to that foam in and in order to do that
Let's remove this upholstery here. And normally the upholstery has these hog rings right here
You could see those they're kind of rusted. They hold it typically to this metal
But these are definitely rusted and broken off. So it makes our job easier. We'll just have to replace those when we reinstall it
so let's peel back to see cover like so and
Now we have access to our foam and it's nice the foam has a little indents in it for where the holes are
So we know exactly where we need to cut and where we have fresh air that's able to flow through
So now just so you have an idea. This is what it looked like. So this is the back of the seat
That's the front of the seat. That's the back of the seat
here's where the backrest would be and
This is kind of where you would sit right in here
And if we take a look at flipping this over that's exactly where our vents are right here
So just from looking at this the fans going right there. That looks perfect
We can utilize the vent holes which are all in this area
That looks beautiful now
What I'm gonna do is get a marker and we're gonna mark around the edge of both fins so we know exactly where to cut
and we want to make sure that we're being accurate so we don't cut too large of a hole for these fins and
Let's check it out
Perfect, and now comes the fun part cutting the foam now
We don't want to go too deep because we could get through to the other side
So at this depth we should be good and we won't be able to go all the way through
So cut the foam on the line and I'm cutting more towards the inside of my line because I could always remove more foam later
But if I remove too much now
The fans might have a loose fit
Now peel away the foam that we just cut out and then remove as much foam as we can under that that way the air
Could flow through this very easily
So let's test to see if this works get our fans in here and they fit pretty snug which is perfect
Now we could take a 9-volt battery
It's not gonna be as powerful as the car battery
But it should still work
Enough to let us test this and it turns it right on look at that nice and quiet can't even hear them
And if I put my hand above here, even at 9 volts, I could feel the air getting blown through the seat
Let me flip this over just to show you and with the seat flipped over
right here is where the fans are pulling the air through I could feel it and
I have everything all set up so they're both running right now
Let me show you how well this works and again with our smoke maker
You can see the smoke getting sucked into the seat
This isn't gonna have any issues pulling a fart out from under you and that works pretty good
now these do not go in all the way so there is a gap between the fin and the
bottom of the seat to fill that gap
We're going to be using the activated charcoal filter
And this is also going to give us our filtering capability to remove the smell
so we just want to line this up over our hole and cut out a few pieces of charcoal filter to fit the hole that
Way when we sit down we don't even know that there's a fan under us
I'll just cut a few more pieces out and we'll layer in there just like that
Then we could put the fans on top of that and I'm gonna add one more layer of charcoal filter on top of the fins
To keep the fans off the metal seat bottom and this will be held in place once we sandwich it in between the seat bottom
Like so so let's get this all set up
Perfect. Now that charcoal filter is going to be held in just by this being tightly bound to this
It'll add two more filtration
And also prevent that noise from happening from metal to metal contact of those screws to the back of the seat
So that is exactly what we want. Now we want to get this all tightened up and held into place and to do that
We're gonna install hog rings with a hog ring pliers, and this is exactly how it came from the factory actually first
Let's run our wires out of the seat hole here. So we have access to them
Now anytime you run wires
Sharp edges like this metal edge right here could cause a problem back and forth back and forth over time will cause this to chafe
And then you'll get a short
so what you use is a wire loom protector like this and
Just push the wires into the loom like that and work your way up the loom
So the wires are completely protected and now this plastic right here will protect it so it doesn't get chafed
So now we could reinstall our upholstery properly with a hog ring in each of those three spots
So grab your hog ring pliers
Open it up grab a hog ring it fits right in and then get the hog ring into the original hole in the seat cover
And crimp it onto the metal seat bottom like so then do the same exact thing for the other two spots on the seat
You're just crimping the cover to the seat
So it doesn't move and that's all there is to it now that is sturdy in place
Let's do the other side
So crimp four hog rings into place on this side of the seat
Flip the seat around and then crimp for more hog rings on this side of the seat beautiful
That is all there is to it now. Our upholstery is nice and tight and that looks great
Let's install this into the the seat
so let's set the seat up on the workbench and the seat bottom slides right in now we need to line the seat and the
Holes in the bracket and then hand tighten the bolt into place
Same for the other bolt line it up and then hand tighten it then we could torque both bolts down to spec so we know
They won't come loose. Now. Let's flip this around and repeat tighten the bolts down by hand and then torque them to spec and
I hate putting things back dirty. It's all dusty and grimy all in here
So before we put that cover back on, let's grab some soapy water and a brush and spray down this grimy seat bracket
then use a brush to agitate all the dirt and
Finally, we could wipe it clean with a paper towel. Now, we could install our side trim. I'll get that in place like that
Just test fit it up. Perfect. Now's a good time to install our switch
I want to have a nice discreet spot where you can flick it on and flick it off without anybody knowing and this is perfect
Right around here and if we take a look right here peel this back beautiful
You can see there's a nice big cutout right here. So we could drill into it and there's a big cutout right in here
So we won't have any clearancing issues. So I think that right there looks perfect
Let's make a mark and drill our hole
So we'll start by drilling a pilot hole
Which is using a small bit?
just to get this hole started good now we're going to use the full size drill bit and we need a hole that this will
Fit in so if you look at this drill bit it fits perfectly. So use this bit to finish drilling and
That looks pretty good. So, let's see how well our switch fits. We'll get that in here and
Beautiful look at that
Now we get the on off placard and put it on the switch. This only goes on one way and we get our fastener nut
tighten that down all the way so it's nice and snug and holds that switch in place now before we install our
Plastic piece here. We want to wire in our switch
So what I have are too long leads that we're going to wire up just like that
so I'm going to use this terminal end and this just slips right in like that and then
Crimp it down and we do the pull test to make sure it doesn't come off and that is good
Now we could take those terminal ends and screw them into the switch. We just need to make sure both of these wires are secured
Good now with both of wire is securely fastened
We're gonna add a wire loom to protect them
Just work that wire all the way into the split of the loom and there you go with our wire loom installed
This wire won't get pinched on the seat when we move the seat back and forth. So now let's install our seat trim
So sneak the wire loom back under the seat
So it's out of the way and then snap the cover into place
finally screw the front screw and then the back screw and then push the seat adjustment handle on like so and
There we go. Let's take this and install it into the car
Be careful not to damage anything as you put the seat back in and now we can tighten down the front two bolts to hold
the seat in and
Finally tighten the rear bowl. All right with those bolt screw down our seat is now
Bolted in and we're good to go and check this out
our switch is nice and discreet off to the side here good clearance easy to get to
Now one last thing you saw I didn't bolt in that last bolt. Well, that's because we're gonna use that as a ground
so we're gonna hold off on that and now comes the fun part that everybody gets so nervous about it's not bad at all and
That is wiring we're gonna be using a fuse tab and it's just one wire that we connect to the fuse box
Which is underneath the driver side and that one wire is gonna run right to here super simple
So let me show you how to do that
Let's get to the fuse box underneath the steering wheel now with our fuse tap we could tap into any of these fuses
but I rather try to find an open fuse slot and use one of those now the idea is
With the ignition on we want power to our fins, but with the ignition off
We don't want power
So to find the right fuse to tap into we're going to be using a multimeter set to 20 DC volts now grab your fuse
Tab and we're gonna use a 5 amp fuse because our blowers are one amp each
So two amps total 5 amps is the smallest fuse we have and then let's place this in a random slot
Like that, then grab your ground clamp from your multimeter, and we're just gonna ground it to something metal
Now the key is out of the ignition
So let's get our red lead and connect it to the fuse and you can see we have no voltage
now if I turn the key to the run position
Check it out. We have voltage
Beautiful. So that means this gets power only when the key is in the run position and now we know which few slot to use
the next
We need to do is grab a long wire one that you could run all the way to your seat and the nice thing about
this fuse tab is it comes with a crimp already built in so just slide that in there like that and
Then we'll crimp it down like so
Look at that perfect
So let's go plug this in make sure you plug it into the correct slot
Good
And now let's run the wire behind the dash making sure it's away from any moving parts like the clutch brake or accelerator
Now we could run it up into the center console area. So there's no slack
Good. So the wires getting run all the way underneath the center console to the back and then down underneath the carpet
To right here and then we could pull some of this out. There we go
Now, let's run our ground wire. This is gonna connect to this bolt hole right here
But before we connect it, let's clean the metal surface off with some 180 grit sandpaper since this is rusty
Good now, let's get the ground wire and bolt in place and bolt it down
Next we want to connect our ground wire to the black ground wire on the fans
So let's crimp on a spade connector like that and then we could connect our ground wires together
So now we have our power wire from the fuse our power wire to the fans and then our switch so we need one fan
To switch and one power wire to switch and then we're done
So I'm gonna crimp on Spade connectors to the ends of the fans and the switch and then connect them now
Let's crimp the power wire and the other switch wire and connect those as well. Now. Let me show you what's going on here
We have our power wire coming from the fuse block which goes into our switch and then coming from our switch
It goes into the fan and then the fan is grounded right here and that completes our circuit. That's all there is to it
Let's try it out
All right, my first time sitting in this seat
and it feels pretty good this which is easy to get to and I can't even tell there's fans built into the seat which is
Exactly what we want now to prove this works. I have a smoke machine
So I'm gonna fill the area with smoke and then let's turn on the fans and check it out
Those fans suck the fumes right out of the air and they are silent gives new meaning to silent
But deadly now it's time to put my money where my mouth is and we're gonna be testing this out
I heard this smells horrible. Alright, it's time to give this a try
I'm gonna waft it towards
Oh, that's horrible
Man, I am dreading this this stuff smells so bad and I'm in an enclosed car
So I'm gonna make sure the fan is on good thing. I checked because it wasn't now it is and here we go
man
Come on okay good smell it a little bit but it's not strong at all and the smells gun. Oh man. How cool is that?
If that doesn't prove that this works, I don't know what does go get yourself one of these and spread in your car
You'll never do it again. That is not bad at all. That is so cool. This works. So there you go
The proof is in the pudding and that worked. Beautifully. This is such a great design
Let's flip this off. And the best thing is you guys can make this at home
Yourself and if you don't want it to suck the air out you could flip it around and then now you have cooled seats easy
As that, but I'm telling you in the future cars
especially
Luxury cars are gonna have these and then hopefully maybe we could get them so that every new car will have one
actually Alex from car throttle is gonna help me do just that he came all the way from the UK to meet me at my
Driveway to help me bring these far odor removers to market
He actually just sold his pride and joy to fund this so this is no joke
You're gonna wish you had these in your car
The next time you go for a ride and need to pass gas as always
