Both engine fires. They're almost always caused by something going pop in either the fuel or oil system.

Exactly the reason I have a fire system in every car I own. $500 pays for itself real quick in a situation like that.

What about 360? Or is this just the 430 and 599?
I'm looking at a used 360 from '99-'04 and not sure now.
Should I be concerned?

some guy in Korea died inside the burning 360spider about a year ago..
he was doing the top speed run and his rear tire just blew....
then the car hit the wall and caught on fire.... whole thing burnt down.
with the owner and his gf inside... so devastating..

A tank (or several tanks) of halon, an activation solenoid of some sort, and several piped nozzles. I run two 5lb tanks, one piped to the driver and passenger footwells, and the other to the engine bay.

Firebottle is the brand I use.
