After 7 years restoring our van and after a previous van going up in smoke we are looking to get a fire suppressant system installed. I've heard of one that is like a 3m hose above the engine in the engine bay? Just looking for suggestions for a 1978 T2 bay? Thanks
Take a look here - there was a group buy on here, maybe 10 years ago - a lot of us have/had Firetec systems. https://thelatebay.com/index.php?threads/anyone-know-how-to-pressurise-a-firetec-extinguisher.89421/
I have the gas system from vwaircooledworks. easy to install, wired into the power supply to the fuel pump so if it’s triggered it will stop fuel being pumped into the engine bay. Preferred gas as it doesn’t make a big mess if it goes off, unlike foam or powder. Also have a handheld powder extinguisher in the bus just in case. https://vwaircooledworks.co.uk/fire-extinguisher-system
Remember most fires are caused by electrical problems, check all systems, personally I don’t use them makes me check regularly
