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.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!
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
