Fire extinguisher

[SD Bugeye]

So I was out for a drive a few weeks ago and had a scary thing happen.
running down the hiway at speed and all of a sudden I smell raw gas.
pulled over and see that there is gas pouring from the over flow of the rear carburetor
kind a scary moment with the header at temp and gas poring over it
had the issue fixed in a few minutes but the visual of the car in flames lingered .
so I found the answer to having an extinguisher that is small doesn’t leak doesn’t take up a bunch of room and could be placed in a location that is easy to get to in a panic
can you see it?

I saw those on Leno's YouTube show and I admit I was intrigued. If they are effective it looks like a nice way to have something small and easy to reach that would still be effective.

I hope you never have reason to try it.

Yes, great idea much better than the bottle I used to have bolted behind the passenger seat
Slight change of subject , what color red did you use. I love the shade. Paint next spring working on color thought now.

Yea me too scared the crap out of me feel better knowing it’s there.
when I pulled the bowl and the fuel filter al was perfect clean so not sure what caused never happened before or since and never again I hope.
Paint was driving by a dodge dealer and they had a new little Dakota on the lot sharp color .
so yea 1996 dodge poppy red.
in single stage no clear.coat.

I keep a fairly large extinguisher bottle in the trunk of my Sprite. I keep smaller fire bottles in my regular cars, too. Sometimes it comes in handy, and not necessarily for your car.
