    Fire Suppression System?

    I happen to have a Safecraft 10 lb fire suppression system left over from my plane build and have been toying with the idea of integrating it into my coupe. Is the 20 lbs installed weight worth the peace of mind knowing I will be most likely stuck in the car should both door latches be damaged in a collision or shunt?

    It is a pull cable release bottle with provisions for 2 nozzles. I would plumb one to the front fuel tank area and one aiming at the top side of the engine.

    Anyone running or thinking about anything similar?

    I've seen them on a few R's.

    I have a SPA system in my R and have 3 nozzles in the engine, (turbo, front of engine and fuel connections and lines), 3 in cockpit (side of driver, front of driver and fuel cell), 2 emergency levers, one for driver and one for corner workers).
