Looking at fire suppression systems for my 40 as I build it. I’ve read several articles here about them and am wondering about a couple of things.
- not going to be racing it so don’t need to conform to any rules so should I add nozzles in the cabin or keep a bottle in there? This way I could run all the nozzles to the engine.
- with mid engine car I won’t see the fire right away so do people use an automatic thermal system or the cable pull with some sort of alert system with light on the dash?
- any difference between Novec 1230 and Fluoro FS? Is one better than the other?
- would a 10 lb bottle put down a fire (assuming I kill power and fuel pump) I understand the blast is only a few seconds.
Thanks for any and all advice!
