Totally agree - i`m not saying the extinguishers are a bad idea but if fire is a worry spend cash on prevention rather than a cure ...
Not gas, it'll blow away and doesn't cool the source, so will re-light. Foam or powder, the fire service normally use AFFF, foam which forms a film over the fuel source to prevent reignition. Whenever you look at a video, see how established the fire is. Most of them light it and put it straight out, which is easy as there's no heat build up. Do a test with any fire service and they want to see it burn for quite a while to get really hot before accepting that a test is valid.
A van from the prototype bay forum caught fire the other day. His air cooled works fire extinguisher put it out, with minimal damage. A good investment if they save family & van!
Thats what I like real stories, I had my doubts about them in real life. Was he driving along or stationary do you know ?
It'd be interesting to hear what caused the fire. I can see one putting out an electrical fire, but not a semi established petrol fire.
