wonder if header wraps makes it more or less flamable

 

I tried to burn some last week with a lighter. Don't ask why. Lol.

Simple dei wrap from auto zone.

Wouldn't catch on fire.

 

soak it in oil and try again? thats what i am wondering

 

Sorry guys, you are incorrect. Are you relating capabilities to size of extinguisher? I have been in aviation for 35 years: Naval aviation, commercial, and private. Have been through shipboard firefighting school as well as all the training the FAA requires. Halon is a superior fire fighting agent. It interrupts combustion and will " boil" away leaving no residue. There is no powder cloud (not great in the cockpit during fire fighting). You do not want to inhale the "aftermath" of a halon extinguished fire but in aviation/shipboard one is usually on air breathing/oxygen. For a car it should not be a problem; you will be in the open and can avoid being downwind. Electronics that are not fire damaged will not have to be cleaned and replaced. You can research it yourself if you desire. You can get them from aviation suppliers. The global warming people have put a damper on halon for anything but what is really necessary.
I keep my extinguisher behind one of the seats. You can also mount it in the trunk with a bracket attached to the cover of the 'secret compartment".

 

Header wrap soaked in oil WILL catch on fire. Ive seen it happen before.

What I was saying is that if you took the same size/weight Halon and Dry Chem extinguishers, according to their ratings the dry chem extinguisher has the capability to extinguish a fire that is much larger in size. Here's a post I made after researching the topic a bit more in another thread:
