what causes more damage, the fire or the dry chemical? :confused_smile:
just get one, and keep you eyes open for the "perfect" one for your needs.
If you do have the dry chemical type, you need to shake it occasionally...
I did use a dry chemical extinguisher on the 2nd of my two fires that happened on my Olds... stupid oily rags, anyway, yes it makes a mess, but I cleaned it up right away and I had turned off the engine before I started looking for the extinguisher!! (it had rolled way under the front seat)

Darn thing put that fire out FAST tho!
