Is one enough to cover the fuel cell?
What scenerio's would compromise the fuel cell, rear end/brake failure, fuel line/pump, major impact??
Having a bottle system and a good hand-held for minor incidents has merrit.
Very interested in hearing the fire suppression options and reasons.

All thoughts I have been going through over the past year.
Many systems just cover driver and engine. My cell has a 20 gauge steel container and my car has an aluminum (not sure of gauge) rear firewall.
Major rear impact or a rollover would be my biggest fear.
Still will have my 2.5 lb hand held behind my shifter.

And these fires reach what temp?
