Fire system

As a teenager I wasn't sure how I wanted to die. Hangliding, during sex, sleeping, in a firery car crash - I just couldnt decide. I'm still not sure really, but I've ruled at least one out. Firery car crash, and so that brings me to you. I need a complete system and so was wondering if you had any recommendations for a 3 or more port solution? Let me know, thanks.

Heard good things about SPA's AFFF system, 6 ports and 2 handles for 400 bucks I believe. I have the firecharger "serviceable" system but I think I've out grown 2.25L's and I think they're no longer in business....?

That's the one I have. I really wanted halon but thought if I ever had a fire I'd have bigger things to worry about other than cleaning up foam later. For all the nozzles and two handles, you really can't be the price. I think it was actually $300 something before my instructor discount.

I did however need a couple extra feet of line for mine. For covering yourself and running nozzles to the engine bay you'll be fine with what they provide, but I wanted one nozzle to go back to my surge tank/fuel pump in the trunk area.

I was also looking at the Cold Fire product, thinking that might be a good solution. and using, as you have all indicated, 2 nozzles for people, 2 in the engine bay, and one of the swirl tank / fuel pump.

+1 for the OMP system, and for 2012 they will be available in black or white as well.
Inexpensive and efficient.
