This stinks
Its not a bad idea. Certainly would slow it down if nothing else. (Might want to be wearing a glove so not to scold yourself too bad?)I heard a story…
Old dude sitting at a light…
People signaled he had a problem..
Hopped out and cut the upper rad hose and put it out
Dunno if it’s true
An ABC unit as large as you care to carry!FIRE Extinguisher in everyone's car. I've had one in every hobby car I've owned. Changed them every 4/5 years. Never had to use one, but it's there. Damn shame, this guys baby gone.
Good idea. Never know when you may need one.FIRE Extinguisher in everyone's car. I've had one in every hobby car I've owned. Changed them every 4/5 years. Never had to use one, but it's there. Damn shame, this guys baby gone.
Better than nothing.$25 at HArbor Freight. (can't believe I said that) They are First Alert brand though.
How about Halon? Just asking.
That's why is older farm type guys carry a SHARP pocketknife. Sometimes we carry a bigger knife. Fire extinguishers are good TOO!I heard a story…

Yeah, they're expensive- but a heckuvalot cheaper than a burndown. ABCs are cheaper, but messier- and you gotta remember to maintain them like Righty Tighty said. Otherwise you'll just be blowin' propellant.Halon is perfect for car fires, which are almost always electrical or flammable liquid in nature. Very expensive, though. The only times I've seen Halon in an application have been in server rooms with lots of sensitive electronics.

On a side note, we were sittin' at a car show having a couple of cold ones when a 442 driving by suddenly died and started smoking... he pops the hood and it goes "Whoof!". We ran up and put it out with the last of our beers. Got towed away; then a couple hours later the guy shows up and plops a fresh case down in front of my car, saying "You guys saved my car. This is the least I can do." Only problem is his car smelled like a dive bar now- smoke and stale beer. Better than the alternative, by far.
Oh, for sure! SOMETHING is better than nothing, whether it's a $25 ABC or a thousand dollar Halon unit.a heckuvalot cheaper than a burndown
