    Any advice on mounting (or not mounting) an extinguisher in the passenger compartment? What are the best units. Thanks.

    I would check out the Element fire extinguishers. Infinitely more compact, last considerably longer and just as or more effective than a standard fire extinguisher.
    As a former cop and one who has had to use fire extinguishers to put out car fires- unsuccessfully, I have the element extinguishers in my cars.

    Element is the way to go. You can just stick it in the glove box,behind the seat,etc.

    Ditto on the Element fire extinguisher… I have three, one in the 458, one in the SonderKlasse Benz and one in my gourmet kitchen.

    Having spent seven years with the Fire Department and putting out more car fires that I can count, I would take the Element extinguisher over any of the pressurised options that are currently available.

    Cheers!
