DragCat Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 So I'm sure others like me carry fire extinguishers in their rides. Years ago I had a small Halon bottle but those were environmentally unfriendly lol. So fast forward now I ride with the typical bottle extinguisher, same as I have in the house and garage. Not preferred but better than nothing. So my buddy sends me this link, and says he's getting one for his Camaro, the 50 second discharge model (they have a 100 sec model too) Obviously more expensive but reads like its more automobile friendly. So, what's everyone else using ? https://elementfire.com/products/element-e50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jft69z Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I still have some of the halon ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott S. Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Halotron is a safer version of the Halon systems, but I carry a class "A" carbon dioxide in my trunk. Not cheap, but having worked in the industry, I kept the outdated ones that were slated for a recharge. There's no expiry date on "private" extinguishers in my jurisdiction.

DragCat Posted January 27, 2022 Author Share Posted January 27, 2022 Ive seen "halon" extinguishers advertised, but maybe the "Halon 1211-1301 Blend" is actually Halotron. What I was ignorant of was the discharge times, 10 sec seems a tad short. As mentioned in another thread, my hood isn't the smoothest trying to open either 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott S. Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 You could always go with the built in system. A high pressure tank (mounted next to your nitrous bottle) and a line to a couple nozzles under the hood. Just clearly mark which one is which. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatorDog72 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I’ve got this small ABC extinguisher strapped to the cage behind the front seat. I hope I never have to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragCat Posted February 18, 2022 Author Share Posted February 18, 2022 Still laughing at the Nitros bottles 🤣 Yea, I never want to need one, but figure a 50 or 100 sec spray is better than the 10 in most conventional bottles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott S. Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 And cleaner too..... Those little ABC bottles make quite a sticky mess. CO2 is a nice, clean extinguishing agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 I just ordered two of the 50 second Elements after looking at a few tests of them on YouTube. Like that they don’t leave residue/powder etc like traditional extinguishers. That said, I hope to never have to use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragCat Posted February 20, 2022 Author Share Posted February 20, 2022 I'm thinking I'll order the 100 sec one this week, along with a new set of headlights that were mentioned in another thread 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankOC Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I bought a couple Elements a few years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
