For better or worse I am using a fixed mount Firecharger FFE system. Limitations include three nozzles only limiting you to two zones. I chose the driver compartment and fuel cell with the first system and am going to install a second in the engine compartment. Modified dirt trackers use this system around DFW. Went with it in lieu of Halon because of a concern that superheated Halon gases inhaled would/could result in burned lungs, have no idea if there is any truth to that but seemed plausible. So my problem now is with two systems covering three zones, trying to figure out how to discharge both systems simultaneously. I've seen some pneumatic pressure release arrangements but I'd have to give up an entire zone with two nozzles to use that. I also realize this system is not SFI because I can charge it myself but material handling was also a decision point. Also water soluble was a plus, thinking cleanup is easier.
