I was replacing a fuel filter this weekend when I cracked a fuel line.

It got me thinking that a Car-b-q would not be good.

Any suggestions on mounting locations.

Pictures?

thanks

Yoiks.

Yeah, Halon is a favorite fire control method for enclosed areas that house expensive electronics equipment. It puts out the fire, without destroying the equipment. Water kills electronics, and dry chemicals do too. Halon will save the equipment, while killing the fire...And anyone else unfortunate to be in the room at the time...

Which is why Halon is no longer code in many places, and has been replaced by FM200.

The guy that did our installation for FM200 for the data center said that the only reason why they want you out of the room when it goes off is that the pressurized gas could send ceiling panels or stuff like that flying around. Infact, at the end of his FM200 certification, the installer had to set off the system that he had just installed, and be in the room while it discharged.

But, it does need to be in an enclosed area to work. I don't think it would work very well in a car.
