Tom,
If you add a couple of generous tablespoons of Dawn dish washing soap to that 3 liter bottle fire extinguisher, you will have a pretty good homemade extinguisher full of what we used to call a "Slippery Water". Which is not unlike the Aqueous Foam that Firetrucks spray on the Runway at a crash site. It will work better on a fuel fire than water alone. (I am a former Fireman as well.)
