How many people carry Fire Extinguishers in the cars?

I have just bought one but don't know where to mount it, where have other people put theirs?

 

Ive got mine screwed to the back seat

 

Mine is cable tied round my roll cage on a bracket. Temp install

 

i keep mine under my car mate in the rear. just imagine a tiny tiny fire in the engine bay turn into a huge fire thats destroys the car and it could have been prevented with ease.

couldnt imagine how i'd feel

 

You keep it under the car

 

oh crap sorry. car MAT, not car MATE

 

 

mine's mounted on the floor by front passenger seat

 

I have mind temporarily in a side door pocket - i will mount it in the boot on the carpetted cover for the rear struts at some point.

 

mines going on roll cage aswell...

 

mine is gonna go just in front of passenger seat (plumbed in jobbie)

 

You keep your in a boot that you have to get out your car, open and get

 

i think im gonna mount mine inside somewhere, possibly the side trim in the passenger footwell.

hope nobody kicks it and sets it off!!

 

on the floor behind my seat ........where i can get to it .

 

I reckon if your going to fit a fire extinguisher your best fitting a battery isolater aswell, if your car starts smoking then i guess it's wise to shut down all the electrics. No point putting out a flame if the possible cause is still there... never thought about fitting either but i guess its a good point

 

if your going to get a fire extinguser get a proper one, not one of those silly 1kg content efforts... you know how long they last in the event of a fire ? get a 3.5kg at least if the car does catch fire you stand a chance of putting it out and wont look a prat when the fire brigade turn up.

plumbed in system for the engine bay is worth while if you have an expensive set up from companeys like lifeline i think there called.

best bit of advise i can give if you car catchs fire is get away from it.

 

Have 2 in my Escort attached to the rollcage. One on the drivers side and one on the passengers.

 

i dont have one, always have 2 litres of volvic on hand any way, lol

if i had one i would have it in the boot on underside of parcelshelf as would
not look right in front

tony, oranaco etc have roll cages so loooks better where as im plain jane

 

got mine fitted to the under side of the passanger seat, right at the front, easil reachable, ive recently been considering battery isolator...... and a plumbed in sytem

 

mines on my cage, getting one for the other side aswell, passanger can help then

 

Mines in the glove box would have to be a little fire for it to have an effect
But i know how scarey it was last summer when we actually thought my car was on fire - in the middle of a regional stand blocked in

 

yeah lifeline do a plumbed in one for Ł140 thats an engine bay one, think of all the hundreds of pounds people spend on there cars, i know what i would do

the small fire extinguishers dont last long at all, you would be better pissing on the flames.

cheers mark.

 

mines in glove box 2 only a lil one but better then nowt
