You're right Glenn that it's a good idea to have a fire extinguisher for the house and car(s). The product that you demonstrated does a good job of putting the fire out and doesn't leave a mess. Great work on the install for both of your vehicles. Have a good one Glenn!
How the heck did I miss this one? Sorry buddy! Great idea!! You've seen one of my fires in the shop there a while back. Yeah, the regular extinguishers make a MESS!! My whole shop was fogged out, and that stuff was burning my lungs big time. Really good for asthma, lol! I need to get one of those for the Silverado. My brother's '02 Duramax caught on fire while he was at work - from the damage pics, it looked like the battery had an internal short. Melted his dash and windshield in the right corner, and burned the paint off his hood in that area, and the fender. Luckily insurance covered it. He had thousands of dollars worth of modification in that one. Giant turbo, built Allison, ARP head bolts with performance gaskets, 5-stage tuner, etc.. I almost lost my '72 El Camino one rainy night after I was back home in MA from 2 years out in AZ. I had an ammeter under the dash (along with oil and water temp gauges) - one night it was raining, but still hot and humid out. I had the heat on for defrost, along with the under dash A/C unit to kill the humidity, plus wipers, lights, etc. - a pretty big load for that system. Probably 50A total, or even more whenever the electric radiator fan kicked on. My buddy and I were driving, and all of a sudden, SILENCE - lights, wipers, heat, radio , engine - everything dead! Then I hear my buddy go, "YOU GOT A FIRE!!!" Right between my legs, lol! The insulation had broken down from the years of heat out in AZ, and with the heat from all the accessories running, it completely broke down and short circuited. Wish I had that on video - I was able to move alot faster back then! I pulled over with no brake or steering assist, hopped out, whipped the hood open, and yanked the key out of my battery disconnect switch on the negative cable. Then I ran back to the vehicle and blew the fire out, HAHAHAHA! This all happened in a matter of 20 seconds!! I couldn't do that today after sprinting like that - I'd pass out, LOL! Saved the car. Was only wiring damage, and of course, that gauge went into the trash. :) Another fire I had was in my '71 C20. I had just put a brand new crate engine in it, and after finishing up at 2AM in front of my parent's house, I couldn't resist going for a test drive. Had I waited until morning, I would've saw the positive cable resting right on a header tube!! I got 300' up the road, when everything went dark and quiet! Popped the hood and saw a raging inferno along the battery and cable down the side of my freshly painted engine. No battery disconnect on that one! Luckily I was able to rip the negative cable right off the terminal, then I frantically grabbed dirty snow and tossed it on the engine. Got the fire out, but destroyed my nice paint!! The 4 AWG cable melted in half! Was a big copper ball at one end. I still have it hanging in my barn as a trophy, and a reminder, LOL! You'd think I'd have an extinguisher by now in my vehicles ... :D
Wow Smitty those stories are on fire!🔥 Holy crap you need an extinguisher in your truck for sure. It's got to be a sick feeling when one of your toys starts to turn to crispy bacon. I'm surprised the insurance company didn't try and deny your brothers truck fire damage claim Blaming the aftermarket parts for the fire. How's that new trans in your Chevy doing?
@@ozzstars_cars - I hear that! I said the exact same thing to him. I guess it was because of where the most damage was. Even to me, someone who never assesses fire damage, it was obvious the battery went up. Trans is GREAT! Took the truck to see dad this Sunday. Passed a car, got up to 90 - shifts fast and firm bottom to top! Real nice. Before, you could never feel 3rd and 4th, but now you really feel it hit. Should last a good, long time. Highly recommend PerformaBuilt to anyone. The owner called me right away as soon as I placed my order, and we discussed future plans for the truck, my driving habits (TO THE RUG! LOL), and all the towing I do. He assured me that nothing I could do would break this one. Exactly what I wanted to hear. 👍😎
@@SmittySmithsonite nice! Did the transmission builder use Corvette servos? Probably got rid of that stock plastic garbage and put some aluminium pistons in. Juice those pressure springs too. Extra wide bands with hi-po clutches and your rolling! 👍 Nice to have customer service like that these days, the transmission shop owner takes pride in his work. 💯
Ozzstar's Cars - Yeah, very nice indeed! Hard to find good companies these days. These guys were highly recommended on a Chevy truck forum, And I saw nothing but praise across the Internet for them. No bad reviews that I could find. Yep, Corvette servo, stronger clutches, some tricks in the valve body that are proprietary, Etc., Plus the beast sunshell, Sonnax smart tech drum, & 5- pinion planets of course. She is built to the hilt as we say up here. 🤘
Great video & helpful & your right last weekend I did the Detroit Autorama & scored 20.7 out of 25 & if I would be had a fire extinguisher I would have scored higher my next mod is here for a C5 corvette & what brand again ? Thank you
I was just talking to my brother about this topic! It is crazy that America 🇺🇸 & Canada 🇨🇦 do not have the culture of having a fire 🔥 destinguture! I guess you supposed to run away then enter a battle of inssurance and your car may explode and kill some lives. I am originally from 🇪🇬 Egypt (a developing third world country) but guess what! You car will never pass inspection without fully charged fire destinguture! And if the cops stops you foe any reason and saw any problem with ur fire destinguture the u r sleeping in jail tonight! The culuture there that all cars comes brand new with a fire destinguture mount and a full factory sealed fire destingures! And if any thing happend to your car or any other car in the street, you don't run a way and let the fire escalate! You fight the fire and save lives until the real fire fighters arrives! Here in the US when i bought my first car i thought my fire destinguture has been stolen!! But i did not see any mount! Then i bought the old fashion one and it never left my driving seat until now! But thank you very much for teaching me about different types of fire destiguture! Because, the only one i knew about before this video is the old fashioned dry one that leave everything around you covered in powder. But the figher fighters refill them for free! So please buy any kind just once and you may save lives. Please excuse my poor english writing ✍ skills :) Thank you!
I have no idea why carrying a fire extinguisher in every vehicle in America is not law. I know big rig trucks have to have them. Your English is much better than I speak Arabic. Thanks for your comment!👍
I have a Porsche Cayman 2016. Do you recommend putting a 1.0 lb or 2.5 lb? Also, what is the chance fire extinguisher goes off accidentally inside the car? Thanks
@@ozzstars_cars I do not doubt that. But surely they have to have competition or are they the sole manufacturer of such a product? If so, they have a monopoly and they can charge whatever they can get.
I called the company and they said between $50 to $100. Depending where you live . They said the clean is a pretty common chemical and they will direct the person to places to refill.

Are there now equivalent fire extinguishers for $100 - $150 on market?
Excellent video bud and tidy setup ... I carry a fire extinguisher in both of my cars 👍👍👍
Thanks. Smart to have an extinguisher with you.

Thanks Terry!
For anybody who stops by, Kidde had a major recall on their fire extinguishers last year, check your serial numbers. All had plastic handles.
Good to know, thanks for sharing that info Terry! That's a genuine safety concern.
Excellent, thank you Ozz.
Thanks for stopping by the channel.
Great info Glenn! I might get one for the Grandsport!!
You should Chris. You just never know when you'll need it.
I wondered what would work as well as halon and leave no residue. Now I know! Thanks.
Halotron it is!
Excellent tutorial. Your right, you can never have enough fire extinguisher.
Important stuff. I'm sure when you were flying jets the halotron extinguishers were mandatory. 👍
@@ozzstars_cars 100% correct. They are expensive but when I see that C7 burning everything changes.
@@wyattoneable - Yeah, a fire in the air is pretty much the worst of the worst - nowhere to run! 😬
That definitely was a tight spot to work in but the end result looks really good👍
Thanks man. I do like the look but the safety aspect is even better.
a very helpful video. thank you
Sure thing Robert!
Glen, just think of the number of views you could get if you demonstrated with fire on the C7 🔥🚙🔥
That would be something! 🔥
Great choice Glen, those old style white powder extinguishers make a horrible mess.
That's for certain!

H3R Performance for the win! Quality is worth every penny when it comes to safety. -Glen (Ozz)
Did you buy that burnt C7 for parts?
Actually it would make an awesome fire pit for roasting marshmallows. 😁🔥

Rare chance a high quality extinguisher would go off by itself. The larger the unit the more ammo to fight the fire.
So it comes with the mounting brackets right Gary ?
You would need to choose a bracket that works best for the application.
Your beard is awesome.
Thanks.🧔🏻👍
Are their equivalent fire extinguishers for $100 - $150???
Not that I know off. You get what you pay for most times.
@@ozzstars_cars I do not doubt that. But surely they have to have competition or are they the sole manufacturer of such a product? If so, they have a monopoly and they can charge whatever they can get.
Turtles
I like turtles.
How much money to refill?
I do not know.
I called the company and they said between $50 to $100. Depending where you live . They said the clean is a pretty common chemical and they will direct the person to places to refill.
@@ronmoore8732 thanks for the info. Good to know!
Now empty it out, plumb it in and fill it with nitrous.
Now that's slick. 😁
$240 for an extinguisher? That's nuts
Not when you consider the cost of saving a life or a vehicle from being totaled. Property damage can be expensive.
