<p>Halon has no powder, it's an inert gas that is pretty much no
longer manufactured. It's still obtained by pulling it from other
decomissioned fire systems. We used it as fire suppressant in a
computer room I was in charge of years ago. To test the system
they did an actual Halon dump. Very impressive. It chemically
reacts with the fire to put it out, totally different than the
usual powder based systems. For computers, awesome stuff since it
doesn't destroy the machinery.<br>

<div>But yow! Been in there since 2005? While it’s out of the
car, you should really have it checked and refilled. The
powder in the bottle can cake over time and even if the
gauge shows green, you pull the handle and nothin’ happens.
Find any fire and emergency equipment supplier in your
yellow pages and take the bottle to them. They’ll check it
out, reload it, hang a new tag on it. It’s something that
should be done every couple of years or so – ask them how
often when you take it in, but I guarantee 13 years is too
long!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>They can probably give you the best answer as far as
mounting it too, as long as you’re in their neighborhood.</div>

<div>I just pulled the Haylon, plumbed in fire
extinguisher, along with all the other stuff bolted
to the floor in my Spitfire to do some touch up
painting. It's been in the car since I bought it in
2005 and is still good (unscrewed the bottle and
checked the cable pull as well). My question is, how
should it be mounted? It's currently horizontal,
which makes me think it's going to discharge liquid
if I ever have to use it. Should it be mounted
vertically or it it designed to dump liquid out
which will then vaporize and push out the air,
strangulating the fire?<br>
<br>

Google is no help, all I get are ads for green
replacement type systems.<br>
<br>
</div>
thanks<br>
