I have a firebottle mounted under the deck just in front to the right of my fuel cell with the gauge facing back so debris wont knock it off. I have a fusible glass bulb in it that will break when heated. Once it breaks it will discharge automatically. The nozzle is mounted right by the cap. Firebottle makes them just for fuel.cells. I also have a firebottle mounted under the deck just in front and above of the 6 arm attachment area. I have a pull cable and one nozzle into the (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)pit off that bottle. I was checking my pull cable Friday and didn't put the safety pin back in first and discharged it. Oops. There was no mess at all. I was mad at myself for pulling that move. since I have an old tank they wont recharge it. So I have to buy a new one. I'm going to buy a ten pound tank and add a nozzle to the engine compartment. These systems should put a small fire out I hope , and protect me in the event of a really serious fire. that's when the track fire crew needs to be on their toes with the proper equipment to put a large fire out fast. It wont be cheap to replace but I look at it as a must have and will not race without them.

for the price of an on board system you can buy a high quality cell or you can buy a quality suit and put a nice check valve in your existing cell. I agree with the other poster if youre upside down with fuel pouring out a fire extinguisher may not do a ton of good. im gonna invest in a good helmet skirt or head sock in the next few weeks also. Seconds are minutes in a fireComment
