Fireboy-Xintex 70551 Portable Fire Extinguisher 5 Lb.

Unlike dry chemical systems, this portable extinguisher leaves no residue whatsoever. The fire-suppressant agent is a non-conductor of electrical current. Provides ideal extinguishment capabilities for flammable fluids including gasoline and diesel fuel. Fully effective on galley fires. Fireboyﾮ offers this portable fire extinguisher that is U.S. Coast Guard approved. A unique feature of these portable fire extinguishers is super pressurization using Argon gas that enables a user to stand as far as ten feet away from a fire. Applied directly to engines, it causes no cold shock as with carbon dioxide extinguishers and thus will not damage the engine or component parts. Upon release, the agent turns instantly into a "heavier than air" gas. As such, it tends to settle and remain in a enclosed space such as an engine compartment. Wherever a flammable liquid hazard exists onboard a vessel or in a boatyard or marina, a Fireboyﾮ portable fire extinguisher should be readily available.
