I think the BC is corrosive to different metals?
haven't ever used one personally...
of course if your car is burning down, corrosion may not be the biggest concern. I'd just hate to put out a tiny fire, like wiring under the dash... and then find out that all of the connections and wiring is trashed due to corrosion


but halon or halotron was sold as an automotive application
and now the new foam extinguishers are considered safer (inhalation) and more environmentally friendly... (although I believe they have to be tested and certified every other year which is a huge trade off)

don't breath halon
it only takes a second
a friend's teener caught on fire in staging
he hit the system button, and passed out before he could get out of the car
another friend drug him out the window and got small burns on his hand while doing it.... exit the car with halon.. hell exit the car with any fire.
(that teener burned to the ground in staging)
