Do you carry a fire extinguisher?

[johnbuckley]

perhaps a bit late in this case....

When it get below 35* the roads are white with salt, and I don't drive on salt.

what if it goes up in your detached garage

 

[modelAtony]

Its called Halon 1211. It is carried aboard aircraft because it is non corrosive and less harmful if you have to discharge it in a relatively enclosed area. That would be my choice for the Model A also.

Appparently there is a less expensive substiture for HALON 1211 called HALOTRON as shown in this link. Any experience from the Fourm on this item which is $100 less er unit and claims to be as good as HALON 1211?
Thanks

Yes, in all of my cars. In most it is behind the driver's seat on the floor. In the Model A Coupe it is on the package shelf. I do need to better secure it to keep it from flying forward in an accident. Most of our local car shows require it.

Quite a few of a selection is offered on Amazon.

I wonder what oil he used.

 

[CarlG]

It was the alternator

Generic no doubt, not the good stuff like Rotella. Doesn't look like the fire hurt the rumble if he had one, at least the best part got saved.

 

[fiddlybits]

Yes!
And I shake it to make sure the powder does not cake.
And I replace my oldest ones each year, on a three year rotation, and use the replaced ones to practice putting out fires.(or let others learn...it's not "point and click" if you do not know how to put out a fire. And if you do know to 'aim at the base, not the flames' most do not get it on their first try.

 

[kevinwalshe]

Absolutely. I have a small Halon extinguisher that is about 8" tall and the diameter of a Red Bull can. Small, but mighty... like me.

What other things are "must haves" in your car? (not counting tools, jumper cables and lawn chairs)

Depends on whether your wife is with you or not.

 

[Chris in WNC]

You betcha- not only in antique cars but in all modern cars and our camper trailer.
Really cheap insurace against any of them becoming a "crispy critter".
