Fire suppression system?

Re: Fire suppression system?

You won't need 6 nozzles to kill a fire. Two, one on each side, in your engine compartment will be plenty to put any fire out. CO2 puts fires out that fast and completely.

Here is a company that specializes in CO2 applications that I have looked into. They really know their stuff. Shoot them an email or give them a call.

"flame out fire suppressor" or any other type of wetting agent/ firefighting foam isnt needed for a vehicle fire, especially if your looking to reduce damage to your vehicle. In order to use any of that stuff you will also need a fire hose, pump, nozzles, etc., etc. . co2 is definitely the way to go.
1. it reduces the temperatures of anything that was burning in the engine compartment.
2. it suffocates the fire by displacing the oxygen
3. it leaves NO mess to cleanup

dry chemical extinguishers
1. smother the fire but do not cool the burning materials
2. leaves one hell of a mess to cleanup (keep in mind you may have to take a lot of stuff apart if it gets into the intake, turbo, etc.)

BUY A CO2 EXTINGUISHER!!!!!!!!!

Check out this site:

I personally was at their demonstration in 2000 at New Smyrna Speedway during Speedweeks that year and the demo was phenomenal.

They layed down about 5-10 gallons of racing fuel and created a line in the middle of the spill and no restarts. They tried to put out one side with dry chemical and wasted the whole bottle and it restarted when it was gone. They used their product FireAde2000 and put that side out and the other side too with no discernable damage to the asphalt pit road entrance. They also showed the fact that it will reduce heat within a very short time, heated a coke can cherry red and applied FireAde to the can and it was holdable in seconds.

So I have been very up on this product since that demonstration.

That is awesome!:tup:

It looks like it would work great for the "trailer queens" and trucks w/ 2 tunes for when they really want to beat the crap out of them. I'm e-mailing them about how streetable it is (ie, running out of CO2).

Good stuff!

I found this system yesterday. Notice the size of the dump valve.:shocked!: I'd prefer a mechanical valve instead of this electronic one.
