Fire Extinguisher Setup - Let's See Yours

[mad_hungarian]

2 of the 2.5 H3R Halguard extinguishers, plus 4 gallons of water, plus an Element on the front overhead molle panel. Redundancy.

That's a lot of fire suppression, Terry.

Back up Terry! Put it in Reverse!

I have the same, but where do you have it mounted? Right now I just have it stuffed in the seat pocket behind me and I can reach back and grab it if needed.

On my @813 Fabrication & Design Compressor mount. I don’t have a picture handy, but like this one from their site:

I decided we would go with the M.O.R.E.

I like them because the mounts are metal and bolt in, there are no fancy Velcro straps to wear out or get destroyed by the sun, and if the bungees wear out they are cheap as shit and readily available at just about any hardware store. Also, they are solid, do not rattle, take 5 minutes to install, and can support either a 2.5 or 5 lb extinguisher.
EDIT: According to the site they work up to 10 lb extinguishers

The only downside I can think of is that they don't work on the 2 door with a soft top (which I don't have yet).
EDIT: Or the 4 door softop

IIRC I bought them direct from M.O.R.E. and they are $80.

Yes, I would buy again.

The funny thing is when my Jeep (the pic shown) caught on fire I grabbed my fire extinguisher and it didn't work. As I watched it burn down I was thinking "It probably wouldn't have helped". I have to keep telling myself that to make myself feel better I'm going to replace them every couple of years now. That one was 5 years old.

Mine is almost 20 years old. My ex used to work for a company that"serviced" fire extinguisher for industrial plants. The stuff inside never goes bad. All they do is check the gauge. Turn it upside down and tap the bottom with a hammer. The compound inside settles to the bottom. It turns to a cake and eventually a brick if not broken up from time to time. You will hear the tone change when you are taping in it and the cake breaks up. They test one out of 20 or something like that and recharge it. I see these guys mounting them laying down or upside down... not recommend. There is no way to get that cake out of the nozzle. Gauge will show good. Pull pin. Squeeze trigger. And pfffft.

I ordered this one from Amazon, SuLokiy Quick Release Roll Bar Fire Extinguisher Mount. It's been flawless. Machined billet aluminum.

I have seen some negative reviews of the Element, not sure I would chance it.

That's good information to know. I'll spank mine occasionally so it stays good

I "service" mine as part of my regular oil change intervals. Do the ones in the house at tune same time so I don't miss them.

Halotron on rear cage bar using Hi-lift Trail Trak Roll Cage Track Mounting System with generic aluminum extinguisher mount - quick pull pin release. Element stick on Molle panel in front. decided on Halotron because no residue and 100% electronics safe. Last thing I want to think about is if the ABC extinguisher is going to do more damage than a fire itself and possibly not use it = Car-B-Q.

One in my 392 hooked to my compressor mount.

Not to go too far off-topic, but what company makes that compressor mount/ MOLLE panel, or is it DIY? Really like that anad it would keep it below the beltline when I have the duster on.

Molle Platform Solutions overhead panel.

 

[Radioman]

I have a mount in the rear and an Element under the seat.

Bought an Element to try it out for training. We lit the engine compartment of a car on fire and were not able to extinguish it with the Element. A 10lb ABC extinguisher did put it out after the Element failed. I carry a 10lb ABC extinguisher in my Jeep. I was not impressed with the Element‘s performance. Mind you I was in full protective gear and SCBA so I could get in close. Didn’t matter.
