Re: Fire Extinguishers
The Yellow Halon fre extinguishers are banned nere in N.Z. and they have tried calling them in and charging you $20.00 to send them to Australia to have the Halon gas removed. Several years ago I asked about this to a guy who worked for the Fire brigade and he said not to worry about it as they are far better than the powder CO2 type which are hard to cleanup as they can leave a residue inside a engine if if you spray it on which is very damaging. I know of several guys in the Vintage car club who have the Yellow Halon type and are not handing them in because of the residue that other fire extinguishers leave behind. and they work better.
