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 have the FireSense AFFF system in my car. AFFF foam, as said before is non-toxic and won't destroy other components like the old chemicals used to.
It's important to note that decreasing the number of nozzles, while not covering as much area will increase the amount of time the suppression occurs over and the amount of foam being sprayed into a given area. |
