Subject: Engine Fire Extinguishers

[terry & diane skinner]

May I offer a suggestion? On our sail boat I drilled a hole big enough to
accept the nozzle on the fire extinguisher. Then I covered it with a piece
of sheet metal and one screw. That way I could slide the metal cover off to
one side and look for a fire and if present stick the fire extinguisher in
the hole and discharge from relative safety. Thank goodness I never needed
it..................Terry

Terry, a damned good idea. See, sometimes it is the simple ones that sound
good

How about combing what Justin Hill did with his to having the tank in the
drivers side, have a hole with the tubing and the nozzles in the compartment.
That way you could activate if from inside the coach and not need the cabling
etc. Just my .02. Sounds like something I would do.
