    not now, but there also isn't any wiring, gas tank or anythine that could start or contribute to a fire.
    There will be one when it's back together. Always within easy reach.

    I have a halon one from summit. (I had a bad experience with the dry agent... it gets *everywhere* and you can't get it out of an engine without major surgery.) I mounted it under the passenger side of my heater box using neodymium magnets. You can grab it and start spraying... you don't even need to unstrap it.

    Right where I can reach it.

    I never again will use the powder type, They make a huge mess and the vehicle will be pleaged with corrosion isuse forever, especialy in the electrical system. That powder is base it becomes caustic with a little moisture, you might as well spray battery acid all over your van. It ammounts to about the same corrosion wise.
