The Sparco 2.4 litre hand held extinguisher, filled with AFFF. Part number 014773BXL24.

FIA and Motorsport UK approved for national and international rally use, supplied with mounting brackets and a quick release securing strap. Most regulations that require a plumbed in system also require a hand held bottle in the cabin, so this is usually bought alongside a plumbed kit rather than instead of one.

AFFF against a clean agent

AFFF is a foam and it is very effective on fuel fires, which is what you are actually protecting against in a competition car. It also resists reignition, which matters on a fuel fire that has been knocked down but not cooled. It leaves a residue, which needs cleaning up afterwards. A clean agent such as Novec puts a fire out without the mess, at a higher price. For most people the foam is the sensible buy and the mess is a problem you would be glad to have.

The weight

Total weight is 4.5kg filled, against 2.4 litres of agent. That is worth knowing for two reasons. It is a real load on whatever you mount it to, so the bracket has to go into something structural rather than trim. And it is a fair weight to reach across and unclip one handed while belted in, which is worth trying in the car before you settle on a position.

Mounting

A hand held bottle has to be mounted on a quick release bracket within reach of a belted in driver. A bottle rolling around a footwell is worse than no bottle at all and it will fail scrutineering.

Extinguishers carry a service date and scrutineers check it. If you are buying close to an event, ask us for the date on current stock.

Is a handheld enough for my car?
It depends on your regulations. Many entry-level disciplines and track day cars only need a securely mounted handheld, while race and stage rally cars typically need a plumbed-in system as well or instead. Check your championship regulations, and ask us if you want a hand deciding between the two.

Is it accepted by scrutineers?
It carries FIA Approved, MSA Approved status. Extinguisher requirements are set per discipline, including capacity and whether a plumbed system is required, so check your regulations for the exact requirement and ask us if you want us to match a system to your series.

Does it need servicing?
Yes. Extinguishers carry a service date and need periodic servicing to the manufacturer schedule, which scrutineers do check, so factor a service into your running costs and note the date on the bottle when it arrives.
