Fire Extinguisher

For those who use an aftermarket fuel cell (meth kit reservoir), or who dik around with their engines for that matter should have a fire extinguisher.

Bah, wait for the N20 before the extinguisher. Meth fires can be put out with water.

I don't think a cup of water, beer, or urine will do you any good once the fire ignites the 55 gal drum. Even just the reservoir is too much methanol to put out with out an extinguisher.

The stuff isn't like ethanol (everclear), it burns without flame and quick.

80% and less is probably safe though

Totally agree, since on the subject of fire extinguishers, obviously those dinky little ones are good for ****. So what size of fire extinguisher to go with?
