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 |

Well i have the system in, i ran out of cable clamps and i will have to wait till the engine is in to figure exactly where to aim the nozzles. I plan on making some light weight nozzle support brackets to finish it off.
I placed 3 nozzles on top and 2 on the bottom. I have one left that could go under the fuel tank at the fittings, but i may not use it. I put some pressure on the shop to get the engine back together, i will now be a pest about it because i have seen this play out before, when the racing season starts the engine wont get done till October, they have already started racing the past two weekends. Once more he said it should be done in the next two weeks( he started telling me this in February). My dash is full i am done with things to switch on and off. I have under the covered switches from left to right- LC-1 AF/R calibration button, tranny cooler pump, intercooler fans, boost retard, ignition kill, and fuel pump. The pushon fittings and tubing worked smoothly and did make things very simple. I hope i never have to use it, but glad it's there if i ever do Attached image(s) |
