[Land-speed] Dry Chemical Fire Bottles

[J.D. Tone]

The one time I used one many years ago I used a 1/2 " swedgeloc standard 
fitting because it fit the extinguishers line. The hose from the 20# bottle 
went to the fitting and I used electrical locknuts to secure it to the 
firewall. I flared open that end with 3/4" drill. I ran my line engine so I 
didn't worry about 2 nozzles only using the one directly on the 
header/intake side of the engine.
Anyone ever seeing how much chemical, in my case purple K, would exhaust out 
of a 20# bottle thru a 1/2" hole knows it would smother any fire under the 
hood of a roadster. It would make a hell of a mess but I feel put out or 
smother any fire. I used a large clutch pedal return type spring to hold the 
handle down after operating the lever by pulling the pin. I never had a 
problem during inspections. I think I took it out when I needed the room for 
a water tank. Good Luck
