What fire extinguisher in your 392? What is the best?

[Fast-n-Furious]

First, this is not 392 specific discussion. I've been doing research on fire extinguisher lately. In the past I just put a small household fire extinguisher in the trunk of my cars and luckily I never had to use one so far.
Funny that now I started doing research on the best fire extinguisher ever since I had the 392, I guess I'm trying to baby my 392
I remember reading about this Element portable fire extinguisher mounted (https://www.jeep392.com/threads/fire-extinguisher-mount.374/), and that was the first time I learned about this product, very cool!

Today, as I came across this video while thinking about the pros and cons, this guy made some valid points.

I also learned that we should get Class B rated fire extinguisher for gas powered vehicles. And Halotron fire extinguisher is an excellent choice. They are expensive though and I don't know where to get recharged, as this guy in the video also noted.

H3R has some nice fire extinguishers designed for the cars, man they are expensive. https://www.h3rperformance.com/collections/auto-fire-extinguishers

I have the H3R 2.5lb black with a DV8 bracket but havnt mounted it yet. Several choices in my area to recharge. Fortunately I am not able to report on how well they work.

I support your element choice. I ordered them for my entire family last Christmas, however, no experience other than my research and available content. I hope they work as advertised, but I also tell my family to just get away from a burning vehicle unless it is to save a life and only if that is possible.

I don't have one in my PowerWagon and probably won't in my 392 but as mentioned the H3R Performance 2.5lb is the best choice IMO, I have one locked in a billet QR mount on my RZR roll cage.

I purchased two of the Elements, one I mounted to the rear rollbar in the jeep and one in the teardrop camper. Fingers crossed I never have to use them. But I do agree with the YouTuber's perspective on being intuitive and the benefit for that.

I went with both a traditional fire extinguisher attached to the roll bar in back and an Element fire extinguisher attached to the driver’s side Freedom roof panel. I also installed an Element in the glove box of my SUV.

I did the same thing - one of each, in each Jeep.

I discovered this Amerex Halotron 1 clean agent: https://www.amazon.com/Amerex-B385TS-2-5lb-Halotron-Extinguisher/dp/B00CMUMW5C

Similar to the H3R HalGuard at a better price.

Another thread on jlwrangler forum and testing different types of extinguishers.

Folks carrying "Element" extinguishers may want to watch this video

It came out about two weeks ago, but I only found out about it today. The youtuber "Harry Situations" works with the Georgetown Fire Department set up a fire bin test under the hood of an ancient Suburban, and then use various extinguishers on the fire. The last one they test is the Element...
