    Fire Suppresion Bottle

    Has anyone seen them on a mod yet? I'm just curious where guys have mounted these at on the car?

    Mine is mounted right beside the driver on the other side of the interior. I ran the nozzles to the appropriate spots then. I have a bar that runs from the dash bar to the bar right behind the seat and mounted it there on a weight clamp.

        I was able to mount mine horizontal which is prefered by the mfg. Mounted it right on the bar next to the drive shaft loop

          One inside the (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)pit by your power switch . One close , pointed at the fuel cell .
          And two on fire wall one pointed at each side of the carburetor , almost always where
          the fire starts .

            Mount the bottle over top of the driveshaft on vertical bar, with the mounts they provide . sorry left that out.

              all my nozzles always went to around the driver..

              behind my seat, at my feet and about chest level

              Nothing else on the car is worth worrying about putting out a fire..

                Read lucas rules, put 2 in (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)pit with driver . And where the fire needs to
                be contained is 1 at the fuel cell 2 at each side of carb . Usally where the fire will
                start because of the headers .

                  I dont see where he said he runs lucas, I know I never did.

                  If they are making you put that many nozzles in your car I hope youve got several 10lb bottles.

                  I had been running a 10 lb system with 3 nozzles and set it off a few times to demonstrate for other racers and it certainly soaked the area I had the nozzles, but it didnt take long to discharge. I ran a owner rechargable system that safecraft discontinued because most people had too much trouble installing the lines without leakage and they use psi to the nozzles to set it off.

                    He didn't say where he was running . he asked about how they were installed . and
                    so you are right about what is important . with that where the fire is , is also important.
                    fuel tank and carb is where the fire is . fire wont stop with just the pit covered . and with
                    my driver , 10 lbs ok most important thing is the driver . just dont save a dime to lose
                    dollar or life . put them the way it should be .

                      And where they should be is around the driver, so he can get out of the car, a 10lb fire bottle isnt enough to put out a fire if you have half of it not going on the fire as youve described in most cases. Ive NEVER seen a 10lb system come with 5 nozzles as you describe.

                      Ive only been on fire twice maybe all the flames spewing out of my (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)pit windows as I was going down the straight and coming to a stop has fogged my mind.

                      If you want to put out a fuel cell fire or the fire in the motor that would mandate TWO bottles...

                        Buddy he just wanted to know how to install it . And so we are late model , and Lucas
                        say 10 lbs . And so if you want 5 lbs ok . And they don't come with 5 nozzles .
                        If you are smart enough you know how to use the tee it comes with ,
                        just bought it and installed . Use tee's . Also if you want it in the pit only OK. Question
                        was have you seen them installed . And your advice is your advice .

                              man your not bright.. you said he should install 5 nozzles... Im telling you from experience that 5 nozzles will dilute a 10lb system toooo much... thats the point and reason Im still replying to your dum az,, you are giving out BAD advice, BAD opinion.
