Just an FYI for the group... I searched and found several Halon
extinguishers on Ebay... Just type in 'Halon'...

Halon production was ended 12/1993 in the U.S. You can buy Recycled Halon but
you cannot buy new extingushers filled with Halon. I bought one for my boat
back in 1993,sold boat kept extingusher. I have kept a 5lb ABC rated in my
company cars for over two decades and have used them maybe 5-6 times. It's
always someone else who has had the fires but I too put em out and drive away
sometimes with a thank you and sometimes without.
The bottom line is a good ABC extingusher is better than nothing at all. gm66

I mounted a two pound Halon unit on my ZR-1's rollbar,within easy reach. When I
re-do the interior in my El Camino this year,a fire extinguisher mount will be
a mandatory addition. Right now,I just carry one behind the seat but that's not
really a safe way to do it.

A couple of weeks ago I had a buddy at work tell me about his father-in-law
and his bad and good luck. His father-in-law has a '62 Impala convertible. He
took it for a ride recently and as he was driving he had an engine fire. (Bad
luck). When he pulled off the road he had a trucker stop, run up with a fire
extinquisher, put out the fire, get back in his truck and take off before the
guy could even say thanks or anything. (Good luck). This has made me
definately want a fire extinquisher. Does anyone have any suggestions on the
type to get. Do you use a typical house type or is there a special type? His
damage was confined to the engine compartment. He had no body or paint damage.
