Have had one on passenger's side for years, replaced it a few years ago. Went to a show yesterday and noticed it was GONE ! !::: Car at home is always locked.
had to have happened at a show 2 weeks ago. God bless the thief.

Gee, if someone needs to steal an extinguisher, I hope it is for them.

Sound advice!

Buying an extinguisher has been on my "to-do" list for a long time. Thanks for the reminder. I will now move it closer to the top of the list.

Does anyone sell extinguishers, DOOR to DOOR? Seems there would be a GREAT market for them.

I've seen what fire can do to a Model A and it's disheartening, please DON'T delay in getting extinguishers. I prefer Halon or Halotron extinguishers as they don't leave a corrosive residue. They'e a bit more expensive but worth it.

The Halotron's are not cheap but as Ray mentioned its non corrosive...
here is a link to one that's not to big....

Halotron replaced the Halon EPA requirements

Years ago I stop and tried to put a fire out on a car. We shot the fire extinguisher, the fire just got more angry. When the fire reached the fuel tank, it grew a couple of feet then back to the original size. If the fire reaches the tires, GET BACK, the explosion will kill you!

Halon 1301 was great at putting out fires, but was nearly as affective at putting out the users. It was noncorosive also. It has been banned for nearly 30 years. Rod

i ordered 2 of the extinguishers i posted above.. i have been carrying the corrosive chemical style jobbers. it's worth the extra few bucks to not ruin a car with the cheap stuff. thanks for starting this thread as it helps many of us rethink our strategy..

[BILL WILLIAMSON]

Msh,
DREAMS don't mean MUCH, Cindy just had a dream about SNAKES!!!
I have an OOOOLD Halon, will it "PUT OUT" my LIGHTS???

[Rowdy]

My mistake Halon 1301 and 1211 are still legal. Rod

I think you need to back off the hot and spicy Thai food before bed.

[mshmodela]

Food is fine, wife is hot so likely reason :D

for those with dry chemical fire extinguishers, bang it with a rubber mallet once in a while to keep chemical from caking. told to me years ago by a fireman friend

The fire extinguisher in my Zipper is chrome plated so it should put fires out quicker than a red one!
