fire extinguisher

[Graaf]

anybody out there with a fire extinguisher in his car ?
I am thinking of buying one but there is not enough space for a (fia 2.4l) extiguisher in front of the seat : I am curious how you solved this (pictures would be very much appreciated!)

I have the same question

I fitted a 1kg on the passenger slider rail.

yust an idea
knowing it's a pain to open the bonnet i think a fire extinguisher is without great use.
perhaps it's a good idea to manufactor a bigger one (behind the seat) with 2 lines going left and right under the bonnet.
can't be that difficult
when you catch fire yust pull the safety off and the fire under the bonnet is gone.
will save a lot of time (and car)

I agree Rens that might be the only logical solution with that bonnet>
I will check at Biesheuvel for some descent stuff (they build these systems in rally cars).

Sod the car.....I've got mine inside and within easy reach should the worst happen and I get trapped in the car and I need to put myself out!

When my car was at the rolling road, i was asked were,s the battery switch
"what a car with inaccessible battery and bolt on engine cover, with no main battery switch, are you serious"

[nrick]

They should really have had a master switch and a plumbed in fire extinguisher. I had a look at a lot of fire damaged cars where the bonnets were broken by fireman trying to open the bonnet. There were a number of cars with airbox fires as well.

I only have mine fitted

a) for me with a light interior/fuse board fire
b) help anyone else.
