[QUOTE="Shaunb, post: 538586, member: 20992"] My job entails for me to have firefighting training, now I'm of the understanding that powder fire extinguishers have to be tipped upside down to agitate the powder before use. This is because over time the powder settles at the bottom of the extinguisher and compacts into a solid type lump, especially in something that vibrates i.e a vehicle. My personal preference would be to use a foam (AFFF) extinguisher, one it's makes a lot less mess of your engine and more importantly it will extinguish a fire and cool the area significantly reducing the possibility of re- ignition something which powder and CO2 will not do.
