That must be heartbreaking for the owner.

 

I think it was 26 RHD made - not 30 as stated in the article.

 

Like Falconsprint I am curious to know where this started. Obviously the engine bay area but where exactly?

 

I don't have a fire extinguisher in mine. This is an oversight that I intend to remedy very soon.

 

Foam AFFF or powder ABC seem to be the choices. Any advice which is best will be welcomed.

Powder should be used as a last resort as it is corrosive to electrical wiring. CO2 is probably the best to prevent damage, but can take longer to put out.

 

AFFF is used for smothering Bravo or fuel fires.
