Quote from: J_Speegle on September 02, 2024, 03:50:02 PMYes there is no one best extinguisher for all situations that is why there are different classes. You can only anticipate (read guess) what your likely to use the extinguisher for then plan accordingly.  With a older vehicles (new ones are different since there are allot more types of materials used to make them now) you can plan on gas/oil and/or electrical fires. Basically each works differently "removing" on side of the fire triangle to extinguish the fire hopefully.

That and really good insurance, as well as a phone, are your best weapons. Of course training on how to use each type of extinguisher. You can't believe the things people will do when they panic and using a fire extinguisher is is a good example of this in my experience
I heard of someone sticking the hose of the fire extinguisher into the fryer that was on fire and discharging it causing 2nd and 3rd degree burns all over her body!

Jhockman.... you have to strike something? To activate?

Watching a video on the element 50 extinguisher in use it appears so

Quote from: SCOTTGTK on August 31, 2024, 08:50:15 AMLast question, what do you like about this one?

I worked in fire protection business for 25 years and found them very reliable. Equally as good is Amerex
I also like that they can be visually inspected and they can be easily serviced.

I done like that you have to strike the element extinguisher with something that you can easily drop in the moment

Yes that's a usual thing I see often and it don't make sense to mount fiberglass like this.

I always did it the right way and thought its wrong and was not done like this by the factory but I thought its better for the fiberglass and years later I found a concours restored one at a saac meet and found out my thinking and doing was right as they mounted it the same way like I did all the years.

By the way I need one of these top panels does someone here has one for sale?
This might be a good option.

These can be a nice option
