Best I can find locally here in the Bay Area is a 5lb bottle for about $149.00. Anyone have a better source for Halon?
I think it is also called Haltron 1. |

QUOTE You should only need a 2.5 lb bottle for a car fire A 2.5lb bottle is about as good as a fart in a high breeze.. My friends car caught fire, and out he jumps, grabs the 2.5 lb halon bottle and blasts away at the fire (gas, fibreglass type fire) didnt do a thing.. The emergency crew arrived quickly, and opened fire with the 25(?)lb extinguisher and took care of the fire.. The best thing to do if your car catches fire, is get it as close to a flag station as possible..and let them use the mega extinguishers. what would you guys do? |
