Woo - Installed my Firetec today :)

[Tofufi]

Erm. As the title says, really. I have been meaning to do it for ages, not got round to it.

Heres hoping it never needs to be used :shock:

Huge thanks again to Araon for organising it - much appreciated.

And remember everyone - check your fuel lines regularly :wink:

I intend to get a few more cable ties to support it



And my fuel lines when I bought my van... :evil:

Meant it did rather poor MPG :lol:

 

[Araon]

BEST advice going...... the firetec is only there as the last line of defence......

Whats in the bottle? Foam or powder?

 

[irish gerry]

i'm prob behind the times..but how is it triggered?? and how easy to fit and cost??

deffo looks a must have

 

[Araon]

That ones AFFF but come in most suppressant types... but cost and the fact that the gas types dissipate into the environment too quickly in the engine bay, means that the risk of a flash when the engine lids raised is far too scarey an ordeal....

the tube is under pressure and melts at heat source for the type1/2 its 85degs C but they do a 110degs C on request, cost that one was in the region of 100 notes, as a one off purchase from Firetec it would have been 150/160 ish plus 15 delivery....

The delivery is the problem as its classed as dangerous goods being pressurised cylinders no one wants to ship them :roll: thats why its such a pain for bulk buys...

Oh must thank everyone for collecting theirs this weekend just two more to go Cheers....
