I have halotron in my car. I would only use a bc as a last resort. I was told that the chemicals in bc start corroding immediately. It is difficult to clean up & if sucked into a running engine will pretty much ruin it. Halotron is a gas with no residue. The cost is more than powders but if it saves the car & doesn't due any collateral damage it is worth it.
FYI if you have an engine fire spray through the vents. Do not open the engine lid as it will increase the fire due to the added oxygen available. Attached image(s)
