[QUOTE="fl-krawler, post: 262352, member: 884"] Fire protection has been a HUGE concern of mine, especially now that my kids are big enough to ride on the obstacles if they choose to do so. Everything in my buggy that contains a flammable fluid has has the containment of those fluids thought out and planned for in the form of hose routing and catch cans. I am also doing a master kill with solenoids at the fuel cell to shut down the fuel. Like JJ, I just don't know if I could live with myself if my wife or kids were hurt during a ride or rollover. I originally had planned to keep atleast 8 fire extinguishers on my buggy (two in the engine bay, two in the front seat cabin area, two in the rear seat cabin area, and two underneath the buggy). They may not be enough to put out the fire, but they should buy those precious seconds needed to get clear of a fire. Doing some research, it seams the foam style systems are the best for flammable fluid fires. I just found this kit which is priced very reasonably [url=https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productselection.asp?Product=2426]https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productselection.asp?Product=2426[/url] I will most likely be buying and installing one of these kits in my buggy [/QUOTE]
