I have an antique guardene fire extinguisher that has been sitting in my living room for 18 years. I think it's from the late 1800s or early 1900s. Can anyone tell me it's value?
More likely than not, if your vehicle were to catch on fire, there is no time to look for the extinguisher; only time to exit the vehicle. If you are determined, then the ABC is what you want - it's for wood, paper, and oil fires..no idea where you would attach it though. If an under hood fire DO NOT open the hood - this will cause the fire to expand due to the extra oxygen that will feed the fire
It is not the safest, but it will break the crude oil up. I have used starting fluid, from the automotive center, to beak up heavy grease. It is extremely flammable and must be used in an open area for fresh air. After scraping away any heavy deposits, spray the stains and blot. After the starting fluid has evaporated the clothes are dry they can be washed in the machine. Again this is a highly flammable spray and shouldonly be used with extreme caution. You can also buy Energine in some stores, which is similar to a dry cleaning fluid.. it is also flammable.
He's a tweener for now. Expect to see a full fledged face turn before WM. It's probably going to be Show, Sheamus and Orton vs. the Shield at WM
It is always a great idea to have emergency equipment in your car for you or for another motorist in trouble. I carry my fire extinguisher in an emergency box in my trunk. I carry a couple water bottles, road flares, flashlight, batteries, my air compressor, a can of fix a flat, two blankets, a throw rug, jumper cables Try to find either a Halon or CO2 fire extinguisher. Dry powder is very corrosive and water won't do anything for a car fire. Spray up under the car through the wheel wells and try not to open the hood once you pop the hood you create an updraft for the heat and fire and it will feed from the bottom sucking in air. I personally would like to carry a 50 pound CO2 bottle but it is to big and bulky. It not only deprives the fire of oxygen but cools the surrounding area so it would help cool off the engine, exhaust manifold etc. IF I had a Jeep or SUV then I would definitely carry a 50 pound bottle. In an emergency you will find that even a house fire that soda esp. root beer, pepsi will work great for firefighting, always use what you have availableeven sand/dirt will work on a car fire if you use enough of it. Cleaning up the mess later is better then not having a car left to clean up at all.
Just get a standard ABC fire extinguisher and keep it in the trunk
