I’ve heard that the 1.5 lb systems are useless while the 5lb ones are bulky. What’s a reasonable size fire extinguisher to carry in a passenger car?
I believe that cars should carry type ‘B’ extinguishers. Any suggestion for makes and type of chemical to look for?
given the high temps grease and fuels go with the 5lb, but plan on needing the fire dept. Defently an abc dry chem.

a five pound extinguisher would best be suitable with a pull latch from the driver compartment anything smaller will not work on cars running 40 PSI fuel pressure would overwhelm any other extinguisher.

I always carry a 5 pound (A.B.C) fire extinguisher because you will never now, better safe than sorry…
