Fire extinguisher system

Remember though that gas does not work at speed.  You have to stop and then engage the system.  Foam doesn't make much sense for a street car because of the issues with freezing and required maintenance but it could be the best choice for a race car.  It is also required by some race organizations.

It will need to meet the MSA regulations for hscc, so looks like either zero2000 or AFFF. Plumbed in 2.25L  not sure what the zero2000 system is, will look it up. Not to expensive for a mechanical plumbed in system about £150. Be looking at putting the bottle in the front compartment

That's quite cheap Dave, almost worth doing for a normal car.  What exactly do you get for your £150 ?   

I'd be interested in seeing photos if you go ahead with it.

Brian,

Check this out Burton power. Basic system. Yes for 150 if you are fitting for road use just don't install the external trip and probably think about how to arm the system

A 2.25L system is not very large and, unsurprisingly, not very effective.  Go bigger.
