Where did you mount your fire extinguisher?

any thoughts on the element50 fire extinguisher sticks? do most of you not trust them that you'd rather deal with a pressurized vessel?

I have this In all my cars and In the kitchen as well . I used one on someone’s engine fire on the freeway and it worked great . And his insurance paid for mine plus another because I used mine without thinking twice about it .

 

Bracketed to the softopper rail.

 

Based on my experience on a car fire, if you are set on the element, get the 100. I personally do not care for the 50.

 

I don't know why folks just don't use the small space behind the rear seat on either side near the doors. It is almost like it was designed to hold a standard size fire extinguisher (maybe it was). And there is no way it can become a projectile with it being contained by the rear seat backs. Great solution and zero extra coin needed to implement.

 

Would you care to elaborate more? I assume the hood was closed and the stick was able to project enough retardant through the grill and radiator?

 

I was able to pop the hood and the owner held it opened , it wasn’t huge but non the less it stopped more damage

 

I see. I think a reasonable position if it is too big to open the hood, it is a lost cause anyway.

 

Only time I ever used mine was when I stopped to help another motorist whose car was on fire....when I walk into a room everyone knows I'm an engineer...the guy with belt and suspenders

 

I agree. I have carried one back there for years. Not super easy to get to in an emergency but I figure if the inside of my truck is on fire, I've got way bigger problems than finding the fire extinguisher. haha
