Feeling pretty invincible at the moment after picked up a few 1kg extinguishers.
Couldn't believe it, guy was just throwing them away

I hope it is clean. Carbon tetrachloride is a nasty chemical.

Technical Contributor: For members who share their technical expertise. - Issue reason: The experience, information and willingness to help and share data in regards to the ZF cooling system options has probably cleared a lot of doubt about air/oil coolers and the ZF transmission.

I have always kept a 1kg Dry Chemical fire extinguisher in the boot of my car.



Years ago, was once driving home on the freeway and a car in front of me suddenly stopped in the middle of the road, smoke billowing from under the bonnet, I stopped, jumped out, grabbed my extinguisher and ran over yelling at the bloke not to lift up his bonnet, emptied the extinguisher in the vicinity of the battery, through the cracked open bonnet, which put the fire out, told the bloke to call the fire brigade and left him to it.

If he had lifted the bonnet and I had not been around, the outcome would have been far worse.

Part of my job was lecturing in fire safety.

$20 from Bunnings.
