This topic has probably come up before, I honestly tried the search function with several options, but couldn't find anything??
The in-cabin fire extinguisher that came with the car is up for renewal. I'm a cheap bastard at heart, but this doesn't seem like the right time to cheap out and forego a replacement, even if it's for something I hope I'll never have to use. Especially since even the "good" ones I saw were all sub-$100 (?) I like the idea of keeping handy in the cabin instead of one of the trunks. Realize that comes with some space and mounting considerations. FWIW: My existing unit was mounted parallel to the tunnel and ahead of the shifter (no center console box). What does this esteemed knowledge base use and where/how do you mount? Thanks in advance for recommendations. - MR PS: Hope I'm not opening another religious debate, similar to "What's the best engine oil?" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Buy a Purple K extinguisher. You can find them on Amazon. Trust me, fighting fires is my job. All those little cabin fire extinguishers works about as good as pissing in the wind..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |

It is a liquified gas type extinguisher?  |

It is a liquified gas type extinguisher? Great for electrical fires not so much for gasoline. Get a a Purple K and put both in your car. Gasoline travels under the engine tins so while your trying to put out the upper engine fire it’s still running underneath the car. This is why I don’t like those stick fire extinguishers as it doesn’t allow you to get close enough to put out fire under the tins. |
