You need to put a fire out at it's SOURCE.... so where the fuel is...
That can be oil on a header if you're unfortunate to be up-side-down.... or fuel spilling out of the tank... from a breach... or a busted fuel line.
Or --- Give yourself enough time to wake your sorry ass up and get out of there!
I worked 3 years at Portland International Raceway (drags) and I've seen fires in all kinds of places.... and every time --- people would waste an extinguisher pointing at the flames -- when the source was under the car etc...
I'd be spraying an "automatic" system in the engine compartment -- and a couple in the driver area to give an exit... or give yourself enough cover time til the crews get there.
