Why is it, that when people restore an older car or build a more modern performance car, they rarely, if ever spend money on a decent fire extinguisher? And by decent, i mean a real size, 2.5-4.5kg, not one of those itty bitty coke can sized things that fart out a couple of seconds of powder?

Tip: if it doesnt have a hose, its too small to be of any use in the event of a fire on a car.

Funny you should say that,

I have a little iddy biddy fire extinguisher on my truck, and the date 'checked tag' is missing.
I'm talking about a 2.5 kilo squirt once and hope type of extinguisher here.
Has It been fixed? NO.
Would it do any good in case of a REAL EMERGENCY? Nah.

So life goes on.

I try and do the right thing by reporting things that aren't up to scratch, only to be faced with the same fire extinguisher that has no valid date tag
. Ok, so the nah Sayers out there will say, hey at least you have one..
My problem with that is, will it work when I really need it to?

Just banging my head in annoyance..


Cheers,

One (I'd much rather be posting in the cars you don't see anymore thread) Mad Man.



I don't use my username lightly..


Cheers,

One Mad Man

The powder inside is probably packed rock hard too.

If it was actually in date & serviced, even at 2.5kg it's still usable, a lot better than the literally coke can sized ones I've seen on some equipment!
