How is AFFF as material?
How big 2.25L, 3.3L, 4.0L?

I researched heavily and settled on an ESS 5.0L AFFF system. I am using two engine and one driver nozzle.
AFFF: I like the cooling capabilities it provides thus lowering the chance of reignition
Size: If ESS had something between 2.3L and 5.0L I would have bought that one. My feeling was more is better and the 2.3L seemed marginal.
Mechanical: I went mechanical because of lower cost and reliability. Not saying the electric isn't reliable but I think the mechanical can be checked more easily. It would have been easier to mount a push button however.
SPA: I didn't go SPA because I wanted a trackside recharge option.
