Spoken to the fire service, and although helpful not quite gotten the correct answer. Want a fire extinguisher to keep in the car for that "just incase" moment.

Now theres 2 types of fire that might happen in these old cars, electrical fire and fuel based fire.

Was told a Cream foam would be good for petrol. Black foam for electrical. Maybe a blue foam to do both.

What you guys think??

Obviously i know to make sure the car has no electrical or fuel issues but you can't be to careful!

Thought most car ones were powder? Not sure what colour though...
Think, if it was my car, it'd be the nearest, regardless of type! Lol

This is just about the cheapest plumbed in you'll find:

Other than that Halfords etc do the smaller hand held type that taxis use, which are obviously far cheaper.

Something that may help is all British army wheeled vehicle's use dry powder fire extinguishers so would say they would be the best type for a car

Cream is a foam
Black is CO2
Blue is powder

I use CO2

But get a proper one not a tiny carbon fibre wrapped look at how pretty I am jobber

Sounds like just an ABC powder one is what you're after then. Covers electrical and flammable liquids.
