I also have the BK mount and Halon II extinguisher mounted on the p-side seat.

The powder extinguishers are less effective and it'll take you months to get all the powder out - could actually create more issues than a small fire would.

Cheers!

Fire supression

I am just curious as to how everyone is able to get to the fuel rails on top of the engine. I guess everyone practices getting to engine and are ten times faster than I am....?

I came across an extinguisher which has a heat sense hose on the end of if.
Apparently it ruptures when fire is present. Anyone have any practical experience with these? I thought I would remember the product name but it escapes me now. I would think one could mount this in the trunk and run the hose under the engine cover to give instant action. It looked like it could be viable diy fire suppression system.....

I think I may have seen this advertised in Excellence (a Porsche mag up here)
