Don't leave home without one.

Halotron 3 or 5 lb. $150-250. NOT dry chemical. No residue or contamination.

Cheap insurance. Puts out fire quickly.

It put out the fire brilliantly--but it ruined everything in the process. You can't see it in the photo, but it brutally etched the metal, coated everything (kind of the idea), and it rendered inoperable anything electronic that it touched. Where the gasoline combined with the compound, it created a cement-like substance that was chemically bonded to the metal and would only come off with thorough media blasting.

May have just saved an un-modified (except for Fabspeed exhaust) very nice 951 from certain death.

Also Swagger93, great point about the extinguisher I do carry an ABC one but will be sure to get something else. Maybe a Halotron as was mentioned.
