So much like airplanes I am going to set up something to where if there is a fire in the engine bay I can blow a bottle from inside the car to the general area of the Manifold/Turbo/Oil lines.

I will have the battery and fuse box relocated so I will plum some type of tubing from the passenger side footwell (where the bottle is installed) to where the fuse box would be, so if I start so smoke, While I am in the process of pulling over I can blow the bottle and attempt to put the fire out.

I think this is a much better idea then just relying on popping the hood, (introducing fresh air to a fire), granted I will still do that however this seems like it is a good idea for that initial fire.

It really is just a matter of plumbing and finding a bottle that is under enough pressure to push the contents of the bottle through any bends on out the other end.

I will keep you guys updated but this is something I am going to try and do, and I can test by just putting a sealed bag at the end of the bottle's plumbing

Any thoughts suggestions?

 

that sounds like a good idea joey.

 

Race cars have this systems installed in them. You can buy them from summit and jegs with bottle, mount, lines nozzles, etc included.

I think they start at about $300 last time I checked.

One example of many

Murhpy's law my brother.

I will gladly pay $450.00 for a Fire supression system that will save my car that I have spent not only a ton of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, but more importantly poured my soul into

+how badass is it to say you have a fire suppression system in your car
