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

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.

Well that seems strange. I guess I'm not familiar enough with FM200... But if the guy stood in the room when it went off, then it's not the same mechanism as the Halon. Halon, and other displacing gasses, eliminate the oxygen from the room. No oxygen = asphixiation....
