[QUOTE="cunning plan, post: 592628, member: 4090"] After a brief call to Peter at Aircooled Works, I can understand that a lot of development has gone into their system and I can recommend calling Peter if you have any questions. Peter gave me a lot of information, almost too much for me to remember, but the key points I picked up on: • (From memory so do not quote me) Only 6% dilution of air and gas mixture needs to be achieved to put out a fire - so even with fresh air being pushed down the vents into the engine bay, 6% coverage / mix would not take long. • The gas ejects from the canister at the speed of an airbag and freezes any fuel vapour. • The US Military and Airforce use a similar system. ^ Do not quote me on any of that, please contact Aircooled Works first if you have any questions, these points are just what I can roughly remember to give you an idea of how and why it works.
