All depends on the sensor construction.  Who knows what each maker might 
use.  It might just be a simple flammable gas sensor, calibrated for a 
certain CO level.  Like at work, I look after a portable flammable gas 
sensor for when we need to do "hot work" in a potential flammable 
atmosphere.  It's calibrated with a pentane-air mixture, but responds with a 
loud warning to any flammable gas!
