So I've had a 1.25# Halon in my 914 for years, in fact I need to go and get it recharged...but what I'm wondering is, should I get a 2.5# extinguisher instead?
Looking @ that tiny 1.25 I'm just not sure if it's going to cut it or not (fortunately haven't been in a situation that needed it). I'm starting to see other types too, like Halotron and I'm wondering--stick to the Halon or explore other options... Throw in your 2 cents and let me know! Thanks! |

I would never use a dry chemical extinguisher in a car. It gets everywhere. BTDT. It's better than burning to the ground but still messy as hell.
