Remember to do maintenance on the dry chem fire estinguishers. They will cake up at the lowest part of the canister. I use a rubber mallet and tap the bottom, I usually do it every couple of months.

 

Turn it upside down or just whack it?

 

Best place for it...easy access and out of the way.

 

Not sure about best... Easy for sure. I'd be afraid of one of osw coming few and rolling under my pedals

 

Any issues with pushing the seat forward when needed? Or do you have to remove it before the seat can be pushed up?

 

one on each a pillar

 

X2, have it within arms reach at all times!

 

Nice thread! I was just thinking about a fire extinguisher after seeing two chrome ones on Craigslist for $10 each. They were sold tho. Still need one.

I was thinking of putting it on the trans tunnel on the rear on passenger side. I can reach it easy. Anyone got one there?

 

Nice setup

 

i turn it upside down and whack it with a rubber mallet

definitely the best place to be mounted

 

anyone purchased one of these bad boys??

I absolutely support having a fire extinguisher on hand as much as possible/practical.
My question though, what situation are we actually expecting to use this extinguisher? I've only once seen an engine on fire, and it took the fire department at least 30 minutes to put it out.
I could see keeping an ABC extinguisher ready in case a campfire gets crazy though.

 

Granted if the whole engine bay errupts in flames you may not have enough to put it out. But say a small fire starts you can keep it from erupting into something worse.

 

I would hope to get an engine fire out with my extinguisher before it spreads. Im gonna guess the engine fire u saw was someone who didnt have an extinguisher handy?

 

When I wandered out to the scene, there was light smoke coming from under the hood. Someone lifted the hood, and the fire burst out. It was at apartment building, so there were a few extinguishers nearby (I don't remember the class). None of them did any good.
Maybe a class K could put out the oil, but they'd be useless for almost any other type of fire.
Maybe one of those foam extinguishers could be multipurpose enough.
