I haven't thought about mine for a while. It's sitting there right handy but does it have dirt daubers in the nozzle? Has it bled down? I'll check tommorrow.

gotta be extremely careful. | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 115 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2001 Posts: 115 | I was headed camping this past summer on a windy day. I was on a fire road in far northern CA. I was driving my CJ 5 and pulling an old military trailer. My buddy put his chairs on top of a spare battery I had in the trailer. it arced across the terminals and caught fire. By the time I got to it with the extinguisher a 1 gallon can of colman fuel had a hole burnt in it and was shooting flames many feet into the air. Without the extinguisher You would have seen me on the news.
I bought a new extinguisher as soon as I got home.

They will be the correct rating (ABC) for automotive uses and include mounting bracket. Get creative on mounting location. if you mount it outside cover to protect from weather. Be sure where ever you mount it that its easily accessable and you can reach the clasp to turn it loose from mounting bracket | | |
