A kerosene heater in my garage set my carbon monoxide detector off, any ideas why?

I was painting a car, in my garage, and had a kerosene heater, and a propane construction style heater both running to heat the garage. My carbon monoxide detector was saying something like 94 parts per million of carbon monoxide. I have used both of these heaters before, but never together. Any ideas what happened?

      The reason why the detector registered such high concentration.
      The fact you were using them together in confined space would be the.
