Fire suppression systems

[kiichiro]

Not looking to go nuts but would be nice if it would have a few jets and a sensor or a cable I pulls to get flame retardant or halon out to where the fire usually is, the exhuast manifold.

Any one have any first hand experience with fire suppression setups?
I carry the extinguisher but it's not enough

I have one installed in a race car I own; what do you want to know?

How about some recommendations? =D

I would love one with a lever or a string to pull to activate!

Since I didn't build mine, I'm probably not the best one to go into specifics, but this is the type of system I have and that is common: https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/pr...asp?RecID=7035.

In addition to what comes with that system, I would add:

1) A second pull (one will be within reach of the driver in the cockpit, and the other will be on the car's exterior and available to emergency crews); and,

2) At least two more nozzles for a minimum of four, aimed at the fuel rail, fuel pump, driver's knees, and underdash wiring.
