Not sure about the size(10mm is ringing a bell but not 100%),but i had 2 jets under the bonnet, one pointing to the inlet and the other on manifold side,then one was pointed towards the bottom of my seat and then one in the boot pointing at the tank,not sure if thats the correct arrangment
pipe size depends what nozzle is on the extinguisher, the new ones are 6mm I think my previous one was 10 mm.
Have got one in the dash pointing at me and one in the engine bay, not sure what the best point to aim at will be for your car.

Never have any in the car, there are pro's and con's - the chance of fuel igniting in the car is very slim compared to under the bonnet, if it accidentally goes off then you have a lot of cleaning to do inside, and very embarassing if your in it.
Only under the bonnet for me.

Hi, I would say 8mm, best to ask lifeline direct, each type is calibrated to use a size, if its to big you wont have enough pressure to push the foam out!!
Or have a chat with the boys at FEV, thats what they do, helped me when I redid my system after the fire! there number is, 01243555566.
