Aren't these the type that destroy your engine metal? Where can you get a superior type for a good price? Appreciate your post though and correct me if I am wrong. Thank you very much.

While I only use purple K fire extinguishers, the dry powder ABC extinguishers get a bum wrap about the damage they do. All powder extinguishers make a mess but if you wash it off they wont do any more or less harm then a fire would do.
Wash it off and your good, of course the fire department will do that for you.

Buy a Purple K and let someone else go to Home Depot.

Wash it off and the problem goes away. To answer your question correctly if you leave in on your engine for a long period of time, then yes. But who does that ?? Purple K extinguishers put out fuel fires far better then other dry power extinguishers. Again wash of the residue.

Purple-K, also known as PKP, is a dry-chemical fire suppression agent used in some dry chemical fire extinguishers.[1] It is the second most effective dry chemical in fighting class B (flammable liquid) fires after Monnex (potassium allophanate), and can be used against some energized electrical equipment fires (USA class C fires). It has about 4–5 times more effectiveness against class B fires than carbon dioxide, and more than twice that of sodium bicarbonate. Some fire extinguishers are capable of operation in temperatures down to −54 °C or up to +49 °C. Dry chemical works by directly inhibiting the chemical chain reaction which forms one of the four sides of the fire tetrahedron (heat + oxygen + fuel + chemical chain reaction = fire). To a much smaller degree it also has a smothering effect by excluding oxygen from the fire. "Dry chemical" extinguishers, such as Purple-K, are different from "dry powder" extinguishers that are used to fight Class D flammable metal fires. PURPLE K extinguishers contain specially fluidized and siliconized potassium bicarbonate dry chemical which is particularly effective on Class B flammable liquids and pressurized gases. ... ABE dry chemical (ammonium phosphate) fire extinguishing agent is known to cause corrosion to aluminum aircraft components.


Buy them from Amazon. Pretty cheap insurance.

5 BC fire extinguisher is only rated to put out 5 square feet of a fuel fire.

Great ext for the kitchen or inside your motorhome but other then that not much fire power, excuse the pun......
