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?

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.

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.
