Looking at installing fire system in the car.
Anything to look for, brand, type(AFFF), electric or manual? |

I did a lot of research several years ago before I bought the one I put in my race car. I don't think much has changed. Most of the top brands seemed about the same. The one I got was made by Phoenix. I was more comfortable with a manual system than an electric one. I also figured that if I was injured in a crash, a push actuator would be easier to use than a pull system. I chose the 10 lb over the 5 lb tank, I did not want to run dry if I every needed it. I think Halon is the way to go. I had 3 nozzles, 1 in the cabin, 1 in the engine bay and 1 in the front trunk by the fuel cell.
I was told that it did not matter how I did the plumbing with the T fitting. The dealer said all 3 would get plenty of foam. I still made the one pointed at me the direct line and T'd off to the other two. I did see one guy that also had a 2nd remote plunger outside the car that was marked for easy access by the safety crew. |
