Found out about an interesting product today that I wanted to share:
Was talking to Steve at EAS about my fire extinguisher. It's several years old now, and I figure I need to refresh or update it or something. He mentioned there's something out there that is cool: Element Fire Extinguishers. It's around the size of a road flare, but even the small version puts out 5x the discharge time when compared to a traditional fire extinguisher. So, I bought one online. Really curious to see what it's like. From their website: Anyway, if you ever thought having a fire extinguisher was too big and too much hassles, this product may change your mind. You can check it out here: Element Fire Extinguishers

I had to use one once to exhaust an out of control barbeque... which conveniently sits a few feet from a spare propane tank and 12 gallons of fuel. It works well |

>> powder. But my concern for car use is that you can't stop it midway and wait to see if a fire reignites or pops up somewhere else. And the gas may not prevent reignition like a layer of dry powder does.
Two units can solve that problem. |

Damn that's a really clean install. Can't get that with a big extinguisher.

My current plan is just to run this for the time being. If I had a full fire suppression system, I could still see the benefit of something like this given how small it is. Could be handy for situations outside the car, even helping someone else.

it's a pretty cool setup
This is a good review of it with wind where the caveat with the wind blowing away the gas. Quote:

But for a race car? Suppression is to give you time to get out not save the car. This doesn't seem like it could do either.

High quality Novec system is $800 - $1400. Doesn't weigh much and could actually save your life. What if you're unconscious? Or broke your thumbs on the steering wheel, or something else prevents you from striking the striker? I know it means nothing, but I'm now changing my mind. I think proper suppression is the right choice.

It seems like a nice solution for a street car to carry though.
