Hi Everyone - As my car moves forward I think it is time to consider a small fire suppression system for the engine compartment. I would like something with maybe 3 nozzles which can be strategically placed to address a possible engine compartment fire.
I am hoping some of our members may have experience with these and would be willing to make a recommendation as to what is a neat, compact system. I want to get it mocked up before we move along to paint in case Scotty needs to weld in any brackets, etc. So please let me hear your thoughts. Oh, this is going to be a stock 3.2 Motronic engine if that helps. Thanks for your collective wisdom in helping me reduce the chance of an engine fire which consumes my car. Michael |

I run an AFFF sire foam system. It's refillable by me and runs off a gas cartridge, CO2 or something. It is not allowed by all racing bodies so I keep a fire extinguisher too. It dumps fire foam on the engine, I aimed the nozzles at the fuel rail and intake manifold.
This is the system I run. https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productde....asp?RecID=3431 |
