Helpful, thanks… How many lbs did you use? I see there is a 1 lbs, 2.5 lbs and 5lbs
I have the 2.5lb units. On the motorcycle accident, I used about half of a 2.5 LB. But once you crack it open it has to be recharged/replaced. It says the 2.5LB sprays for appx. 9 seconds. The motorcycle fire took probably 3-4 seconds to extinguish. I used to get them for next to nothing when I was managing PepBoys back in the early 90’s.
I’ve seen those before. Have you ever used one? The ads look promising-
Back in 2005 we got a new F650. Very first day the dry chemical fire extinguisher went off when I sat in it for the very first time. I adjusted the seat and set the thing off. It had no safety pin in it. What a mess and it doesn't taste good either. Boss was passed, not my fault thankfully. He sold the truck last week with 92,000 miles for $30k, paid $48k for it in 2005.
I have not used it. Read some reviews and watched a bunch of online videos. Seemed like a good option. Tempted to test it, but haven’t yet.
I have a 50 second one and a 100 second one for the house. I have a Redding Fire captain buddy (Willys Jeep guy) and we are going to test it soon. I'll get video and post it. From the other videos, it does seem that you need to get pretty close.
It will be Interesting to hear how that works. I had a ScanGauge and it was pretty good. In my Silverado I have a Pioneer head unit that links in through iData Maestro and gives 2 pages of data on the display. But I don’t think a double din head unit is on tap for my Scrambler- so this might be an option.
Thanks @joshvt, I bought one after watching videos. Now where to mount, more options compared to traditional fire extinguisher as shown.
I’m running Speedhut gauges in my Scrambler too. I caused myself a load of headaches installing a larger than stock radiator, so I hope it’s worth it to keep the 6.0 cool.
