    Just need to know what to get. I have read the Halon is rare and hard to fine.
    Also Halotron I have read about.
    Seems ABC rated stuff is goofy and will spoil you electronics, engine.

    What to I need to get.
    Where to buy one.

    Thanks for the help.

    I have a 1998 550
    And a 1977 308 GT4.

    Perfect was introduced in the 90's to replace Halon 1211 which was highly ozone depleting, more effective than CO2 :)

    The CO2 looks good, and maybe the Halon.
    Where is the best place to buy.

    And an uncontrolled automobile fire is more environmentally sound?

    Some environmentalists are too stupid for words but it doesn't keep them from making policy decisions.

    The halon is not rare or hard to find and is twice as affection per volume as halotion. Since I dont have room for a 5 gallon. I carry the Halon 2.5. YMMV
