Looking to update a race car with a 3-bay suppression system. I have done this many years ago but looking for suggestions on ideal routing for the lines and bottle location. Car has two seats (although rarely used right seat) so may impact routing and will probably do a dual nozzle in the cabin to make sure any riders are covered. Will want to spray both banks of carbs in the engine bay and one nozzle for the fuel cell space.
Anyone have some good pictures of routing they have done and where to locate bottle so it is out of the way? Pull locations appreciated too. Thanks! Bill |

The car this is going into is run by an older gent and not as spry as he once was. My main concern is to ensure his safety when egress is hampered and prior to a safety crew arriving in the scenarios you wisely note above. What are your thoughts on the automatic deployment sensors that activate when temps at sensor reach 170F?
