$200 for a fire extinguisher is just dumb. I'm sorry. Dry chemical on your engine will be the least of your concerns if your Jeep catches on fire. That's what insurance is for...
The cheap ones are not worth it, the dry powder gets into everything and the repairs will never get it all out and once moisture interacts with the powder corrosion will start. For a few dollars more you can prevent it.
The cheap ones is quick to access, and easy to use. The heavy ones gets packed so far away that you can not reach it in a fire. And the heavy ones loose their pressure, so the they you need it, they do not work.
You are sharing dangerous information. I was in a car fire a day ago and would have loved an extinguisher. Very few have them in their cars including me at the time and I came close to dying. Fire is no joke
Halon and Haltron are great extinguishers but in inclement weather it will easily blow a way, it’s always a good idea in a vehicle to have a back up dry-chem extinguisher.
Great information! Thank you for the tips...gotta get an extinguisher for my new week old JL before my first overland trip next weekend and this was very helpful.
You dont need an expensive fire extinguisher, BC rated are safe for electronics it has Sodium bicarbonate extinguishing agent Used to fight flammable liquids and electrical fires, non conductive, non toxic and non corosive, the ABC rated ones are corrosive. Excellent video brother!!
Here is s bracket called the Bracketeer, been around for years. Very sturdy, great customer care after the sale. Allows you to mount many different fire extinguishers on the floor in front of our behind driver/passenger seat, or elsewhere. But, on the floor in front of the driver's seat puts it in a location that lets you grab it as fast as possible without having to unlock o toolbox or get into the rear of an SUV, etc. You may consider an extra fire extinguisher, and even make it a larger CO2, or dry type with fluidized and siliconized monoammonium phosphate powder. If you happen upon a major wreck and someone is trapped, it would be a horrible thing to live with if a small extinguisher played out and the worse ensued. Although, it would not be your fault. Hopefully you will always have enough to contain the fire until professional help arrived. I happened upon a wreck/fire that started afterwards on top of an interstate overpass. First responders were about 15 miles away and traffic was backed up. NO ONE had a fire extinguisher in the immediate vicinity. A couple of truckers came along with one, but they weren't enough by that time. I never forgot that night with the sounds and smells. I have four fire extinguishers in my trucks and cars. May sound like overkill, but it's just the way it is, now. Glad you got a Halon extinguisher. They are liquefied gas and come out as part liquid and part gas. Good luck and hopefully you'll never need it 👍. Thanks for sharing the video.
Good video. The first things to go in any of my vehicles is the safety gear. I carry 2 Kidde fire extinguishers, 2 first aid kits, along with the regular gear for recoveries. Remember the cost of your vehicle and don't skimp on the quality of your extinguisher. As a prepper my motto is 2 is 1 and one is none and plan accordingly.
Great video. Thanks for spreading the word on the importance of having a fire extinguisher in your vehicle. I have a Halatron and a dry chemical fire extinguisher in my JK. I have a large communication rack in the back of the Jeep and communication equipment in the front of the Jeep, everything was installed professionally, but you can never be too careful. During the hot months, I wouldn’t recommend having your Halatron fire extinguisher near the window, since it’s content’s are under high pressure, it can heat up and even explode. So be careful. I have mine mounted lower, away from direct sunlight. Great video . Thank you.
Great point. Even more important. The extinguisher should be within arms reach but out of the way if it's a daily driver. Imagine being trapped and you couldn't reach the one in the back and your jeep is going up in flames
Drew McCarthy he might have other spots that he could mount it but for my XJ, the only out of the way spot was in the rear. Now, I plan on putting a roll cage in my next one, and that'll give me a few more options.
There’s one a few I’d actually spend that kind of money on but I still have a dry chemical extinguisher on my pickup and in my classic cars. Anything is better than nothing and I’d rather have a mess to clean and a car to rebuild than a total loss over waiting to buy a pricey one because it’s a “no mess” alternative. My dad was crash fore rescue and a firefighter my whole life and I can tell you no matter what you use to out a fire out you’ll have a mess with a vehicle fire from melted wires to melted plastic covers and more so get what you and know how to use it properly
The only thing I do different is I have two. One halguard for my vehicle and a amerex in case someone else needs help because I’m not going to waste a 135.00 fire extinguisher on something that’s not mine or a outdoor fire for example.
The Jeep fire I saw online started in the engine compartment, then burned past the so-called firewall despite the use of two fire extinguishers being used on it and appearing to make good headway. After the use of each one it reignited itself quickly.
HappyQuails this is the problem with this type of extinguisher. Better of with dry chemical cus this type can re ignite and you have to be very close to the fire.
The JK fire you saw online was as a result of the driver parking his (hot) Jeep in tall, dry grass. Cats started the fire and that's why it looks like it's at the firewall. It's actually underneath, and by the time he was emptying TWO extinguishers on the top of the engine, the fire was spreading under it...in any case, something is better than nothing, and maybe a $150 extinguisher "saves" electronics, but like somebody else mentioned, maybe the insurance co. deals with everything, while you save your life👍🏻
Thx for sharing I like ur amber light bro. I wanna get it but I don't know wats exactly name on these lights if u can help me to any perticula name is number thanks
I see that this is an older video but you might want to check out element fire extinguishers their mess free and safe to use in confined spaces you strike them like a road flare and the gas puts out the fire on the molecular level and they last 50 seconds to 100 seconds depending on what model you get and they're extremely compact
Be careful. Those are too small to do any real work. They can only put out less fire than a garden hose can or as much as a toddler. I want to warn you before it is too late. Test it out first on your fireplace with firewood so that if fails you are safe. These are a true last resort if fire extinguisher is not available.
Thanks for the tip! I wouldn’t of just bought something else. Actually that company makes a “MAX OUT” which is different than the gas Halguard that you have and I almost made a mistake! Nice to know this is a must for every Jeep owner.
Always carry ABC rated fire extinguishers in vehicles. Be sure it is very easy to access. Another good idea....learn how to properly use a fire extinguisher properly...not just pull the pin and randomly spray. They don't last long so you want your efforts to be effective. Ask your local firefighters to show you the proper way to use it and you may just save a lot more of your vehicle than without the knowledge.
Hit me up on instagram, @jmcrides.official i have a brand new one in stock that i can sell you. I have the larger one since i quickly learned that the small one runs out to quick.
I fail to see how the powder cause electrical component damage? What exactly is the powder doing to most sealed electronics. I work for a city police department and we use the normal powder extinguishers all the time.
Some electronic items might not be sealed. ABC rated extinguishers are prohibited in the area of aircraft due to the corrosive nature of the chemical used, monoammonium phosphate.
Alva Good Yea that’s not true. We actually carry one onboard our aircraft. I will say though that the other four are Halon 1211 and that they do work significantly better.
@@jarrettweiss7946 I was making reference to the Ammonium Phosphate [ABC] extinguishers in the area of aircraft that are not shielded/protected from contact with that type of acidic chemical. It is highly corrosive to many aircraft parts.
The expiration date on some extinguishers is based on their design of either not being able to be internally maintained every 6 years and become a 'non compliance' extinguisher.
The halon halotron reference is great. Well worth the investment but need to be weight checked when purchased and each month thereafter. The correct weight is listed on the label with ± tolerance.
White chemical is possibly listed for B and C type of fires. CAUTION: Some smaller ABC rated extinguisher only show BC on the extinguisher label due to not being capable of passing the test for class A fires. Chemical color no longer determines the type of chemical due to imported extinguishers. Some of the colors of chemicals are white, yellow, pink, purple, pink.
So this is an older video, but I don’t believe gas type extinguishers work on class C fires. Which are electrical. It may douse the flames, but won’t stop the flow of electricity. And a fire in the engine compartment is gonna toast a lot of electrical things. I’d take my chances with a mess and possibly additional repairable damage to electrical components than a total loss because my extinguisher ran out and it reignited because the current wasn’t interrupted with something that doesn’t conduct electricity. AKA messy white/yellow powder.
Good advice. ABC yellow crap is really NASTY to clean up. Buy a good one that you hope that you will never have to use. Buy a red one and wrap it in CF.
Colors of fire extinguishers is too broad of tool to use in selecting extinguishers. Some of the red extinguishers are water types, ABC and BC dry chemical, carbon dioxide.
AAA does a great job. A couple guys in our club had their jeeps stolen and they got replacement vehicles with the all mods they had. thanks for the video nice jeep . thanks foe the reply.
Sooooo as a firefighter there are some mistakes on this but honestly guys just get a ABC ammonium phosphate dry chem extinguisher 🧯 and check if your car has a lot of magnesium specifically the engine compartment and get class D extinguisher handy. But if the fire gets too big guys step away and call 911. Let us handle it honestly. Don’t risk your life.
Who cares as long as you get the fire out insurance will cover it better then being a total loss even if it is a total loss the insureance still stands to make a little on it for parts
. If you have a engine fire. IMMEDIATELY rip the battery cables off the battery with your hands if you can, or use your shirt. Put the fire out and get fire dept there. Next day hose down engine and let it dry for few days. Then fix whatever was burned and keep rockin. The powder doesnt ruin anything
The dry chem. (ABC) extinguisher uses a salt like substance to put out the fire in essence it Smothers the fire B fire extinguisher you most likely have purchased is a CO2 extinguisher which is a compressed gas that discharges at an extremely cold temp. it puts out the fire by reducing the ambient temperature
monoammonium phosphate powder. It eats aluminium and rusts the ass out of metals literally within hours of being exposed to moisture. Even moisture from the air will permanently etch and eat away at any metallic surface that it comes in contact with. Unless you have no choice i would never use one on something you want to keep. Firefighters all say oh you gotta have one, but its not their car and they arent the ones who have to deal with the end result, and the end result is usually scrapping the vehicle.
the one he has is filled with yet another ozone destroying gas made from hfcfc called Halotron gas. Its not as bad as Halon gas but still not good for the enviroment.
That's why we have insurance, so we don't have to endanger ourselves. I do have a fire extinguisher in my Jeep, but it's not to put out a fire in my Jeep, it's for when I go camping or other events. Unless you have the thing already out and ready to go, by the time you get to it and get it ready, the damage is done, so let the insurance take care of the damage. IJS
Most fire extinguishers that you would use in your jeep be rated which nine out of 10 times I find or dry powder sometimes you get them with CO2 or halon 1211 in them but most of the time they’re filled with dry powder if you want it for your automobile you should get it in a small lightweight fire extinguisher and now a big wonky one this will make it easy if your vehicle catches on fire to immediately go back grab the extinguisher and attempt to put out the fire it should be also said that you should keep fire extinguishers exposed 24 seven instead of having them hidden under the seat The pin should always be kept in you should never discharge her unless you need it to and you should always replace it if it goes flat that’s my word on it but this goes for any vehicle quiet heavy machinery you can even get one for your bicycle they sell so many of them honestly I want to get one for my vehicle but unfortunately I cannot find them that meet my requirements for it I can’t find one that’s lightweight but also discharges at a 6 foot max radius I also cannot find one that ABC rated instead of BC rated also you should not endorse one of the most harmful global warming substances ever known to man which is halon i’ll admit as a person who has invested halon it is quite a good substance but instead you should use novec 1230 which is a substance that has very little chance of depleting ozone or becoming a greenhouse gas unlike halon
@@aaronj08ar Yes I know but they do have similar chemical make ups. Hence the name is being very similar. And yet they are still both devastating to the environment
This applies to anyone that owns a shitty jeep hahahahaha. Actually you shouldn't buy an extinguisher, what you should do is fully insure your jeep and hope that it burns to the ground so you get your money back and can buy a proper 4wd. The dry white powder is known as monoammonium phosphate powder. Its extremely caustic to aluminum eats away and etches and rusts steel and reacts badly with magnesium. For example if your engine block is cast which it will be this shit will eat away at it. Halotron is damaging to the ozone, not as bad as Halon, but worse than say carbon dioxide. Which ultimately your better off having but you need a much bigger bottle for co2 extinguishers as they run out in about 5 seconds from a middle sized bottle. Because the powder types are super caustic ...That means any steel they used to build that, will rust away even quicker than factory rust. The powder corrodes all your electrical terminals and gets into places that you wont ever be able to clean. By the way, most insurance companies here where i live, will write the vehicle off after discharge of a powder type extinguisher. Your better off driving the car into the ocean than spraying a powder extinguisher. crazy hey.
get on with it.
$200 for a fire extinguisher is just dumb. I'm sorry. Dry chemical on your engine will be the least of your concerns if your Jeep catches on fire. That's what insurance is for...
Yups, agreed.
I’d buy the cheap ones because insurance will cover the cost to repair car. My extinguishers r for saving people from potential fires

Great video Brad. A question, witch one do you recommend now, this that you install or the one under the passenger seat with a hose for each tire?

Usually good for +/-10 years. Just check the gauge to see if you’re good.

Halotron is not halon, it's halon's replacement.
@@aaronj08ar Yes I know but they do have similar chemical make ups. Hence the name is being very similar. And yet they are still both devastating to the environment
It's a jeep. I would just let it burn. My opinion. Thumbs up to ya anyway. Peace
This applies to anyone that owns a shitty jeep hahahahaha.
Actually you shouldn't buy an extinguisher, what you should do is fully insure your jeep and hope that it burns to the ground so you get your money back and can buy a proper 4wd.
The dry white powder is known as monoammonium phosphate powder. Its extremely caustic to aluminum eats away and etches and rusts steel and reacts badly with magnesium.
For example if your engine block is cast which it will be this shit will eat away at it.
Halotron is damaging to the ozone, not as bad as Halon, but worse than say carbon dioxide. Which ultimately your better off having but you need a much bigger bottle for co2 extinguishers as they run out in about 5 seconds from a middle sized bottle.
Because the powder types are super caustic ...That means any steel they used to build that, will rust away even quicker than factory rust.
The powder corrodes all your electrical terminals and gets into places that you wont ever be able to clean. By the way, most insurance companies here where i live, will write the vehicle off after discharge of a powder type extinguisher.
Your better off driving the car into the ocean than spraying a powder extinguisher. crazy hey.
