fire bottles

[hitz]

Currently Halon 1211 and Halon 1301 are acceptable agents per SFI Spec 17.1. However, as of January 1, 2008, Halon agents will not be allowed in the field. That means that all certified Halon systems currently in use will expire on December 31, 2007, regardless of the system's manufacture or recertification date. This is in response to regulations set forth by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Concerns about Halons include their ozone-depleting properties as well as the human health effects (toxicity) when discharged in small areas.

  I found this on the SFI web site and thought it may be of interest to all LSR car owners. I also see that Deist has dropped their advertisment for Coldfire bottles. If you are thinking about buying a system for your car we should look into this first.
