fire extinguishers

[Aaron P.]

who has one in their car & what size is it? i know i should have a few of them by now for peace of mind

[topaz]

totally agree, i had one lost to a fire, if i would of had a fire extinguisher it would of been a different matter.

i carry one under the seat, dont know what size but it fits there, i wrap it in foam to stop it from sliding around.

I got one from Burtons with 2 nozzels and 2 pull cables. It mounts in
front of passenger set with a bracket and 2 clamps. Think it cost £100.

you can use a water based extinguisher on car electrics, its only 12V. the issue with water is the risk of electricuting yourself once you stand in the puddle, not a great worry with a car battery. may blow a fuse??

can some one do this, as an experiment??
