While on the road the pin in the fire exstinguisher wiggled out and the handle got depressed. The cab filled up from the exstinguisher to where the guy couldn't see and he had to hang his head out the window to get back to the shop.
He said it scared the **** outta him when that thing went off. 
I'm not sure how the pin came out since it was a pretty beefy folded over cotter pin but, it did.
Moral of story:
Check exstinguisher pins or make sure it's mounted securely and not laying behind the seat.

Now if I was Petr North and had taken a lot of zinc I might have been able to produce other "liquid" but that is just plain sick, not to mention what people would have though if they saw me goin to town under the hood of my truck then finishing on my motor. They would probably assume I was Grippy

I keep (2) 2.5lb ABC extinguishers in the cab. I just put them in about a month ago though! Why you ask? (1)-A guy I know who had a 97 or so RC Nitrous injected LS1 that had a fuel leak under the hood and it ignited. He had to watch it completely burn to the ground. I told my self I was going to get one them. 3-4 months after that (2)-I saw the video of that beautiful Z06 that had the nasty n20 backfire and bascily destroyed it. I dont even want to think of what I would do If I had to hopelessly watch my baby burn!
