Ferrari Mailing List: Question on car fire extinguishers

[BRITT ROTHMAN (britt2asa]

Hi guys,

My insurance company here in Sweden requires a foam 2kg fire extinguisher in 
the car. I’m am having trouble finding one. Powder yes. Foam no. ( Halon not 
permitted here as far as I can tell).

What’s the deal with foam vs powder? I seem to remember powder being bad for 
cleanup. I know this topic came up a few months ago but I can’t find the 
discussion. What’s the difference between the two? ( May have to call insurance 
company and see if powder is acceptable).

Regards
Britt in Stockholm
