Default Re: Fire extinguishers

Mitch - You need to be careful with that chemical.
It contains Hydrogen that can be explosive and Oxygen that supports combustion. When mixed correctly (more than 6% oxygen in hydrogen) it is considered to be unsafe by the National Fire Protection Agency.

For you guys that use Sodium Chloride - that is also unsafe!
Sodium (Na) is a metal that combusts when exposed to water.
Chlorine (Cl) is usually used as a bleach when mixed with 94 to 97% water and is deadly to biological organisms. When in the gaseous form it will kill everything.

To the Model A hobbyist- This is a dangerous hobby
It can empty your wallet, upset your neighbors, or result in a broken home.
There are reports of men getting grease on their hands that is almost impossible to remove.
There are also numerous cases where men spend every free minute of their time and even stay up all night trying to find just one "special" part for their car.
In extreme cases they lapse into a trance when thinking about the vehicle they did not purchase.

Note: Model T hobbyist are as bad or worse.
It is completely hopeless when they have a T and an A.
If any of you are in the A & T category I am available to help.
All you need to do is send me one of your vehicles and everything will be OKey Dokey
