I just purchased a SPA AFFF Multi-Flo Mechanical Fire System - 4.0 L Steel bottle.
manual pull cable unit - has 6 nozzles. This is going into my street turbo car, i thought things over and felt it was cheap insurance if my car ever caught fire. It's kinda heavy at 15lbs and has 4 liter capacity but i picked it up on sale at Pegasus for 295.00. On a street car i dont think the weight and size of the tank will matter much. Post pictures if you have them on how and where you installed your tank and nozzles |

I decide that i will mount the SPA fire bottle in the front trunk I might improve on the mounting bracket i was surprised that it's not that heavy duty. I ran the discharge line down the center tunnel with the SS fuel lines. I will splice in one nozzle under the fuel tank and aim it at the fuel line fittings. I decided not to put any in the cabin i have the hand held Halon mounted on my seat, and if i had too, I would rather discharge that in the interior than the foam.
I will focus the other nozzles in the engine bay with some that will spray the bottom of the engine on both sides, one to spray the fuel pump and fittings the fuel filter and accumulator, and the other nozzles will focus on the fuel distributor, WUR and injectors. I have 6 nozzles to spread out to aim and fire in those locations. I will mount one cable release in the cabin. The other cable release is suppose to be mounted on the outside of the car for track workers, I will mount it but not hook it up to the bottle unless i plan on tracking the car( i would hate for some joker to pull it ). It will be in an inconspicuous spot that is easily reached i can mark it's location with a decal if ever needed. Attached image(s) |
