Let's face it, classic cars can catch fire. Aged hoses, cracked wiring, and old parts will conspire to set your beauty ablaze. Even with the best components and impeccable maintenance, the safety standards of yesteryear were dramatically different (remember lawn darts?). Car fires are a real risk; be prepared so your dream doesn't go up in smoke.
You can use a traditional extinguisher, which will potentially cause a corrosive mess and damage a lot of your hard work (sometimes worse than the fire itself). Or you could use an expensive Halotron extinguisher that, in closed spaces like the cabin of your car, is very bad for your health because it robs the air of breathable oxygen.
That's where Element's advanced fire protection comes in. Element is a clean agent extinguisher, which means the discharge will evaporate harmlessly into the atmosphere. Unlike Halotron, you can use it in closed spaces without fear of asphyxiation or death. Element will discharge for 5 times longer, doesn't require maintenance, doesn't expire and will never need maintenance. And it's less expensive! Given it's 80% smaller, you can easily store it in your glove box or under your seat so it is always close by in case of an emergency.
Using Element Fire Extinguishers In 4 Easy Steps
Element works by modifying the oxygen molecules around the fire to interrupt the chemical reaction of the fire tetrahedron to put the fire out on the molecular level while still allowing us to breathe.
What Types of Fire Can Element Be Used For?
Element fire extinguishers are effective against ALL the major fire classes:
|
Class A Fires Solid combustibles like your upholstery, dashboard, seats, etc. |
|
Class B Fires Flammable liquids, which is pretty much every liquid made for your car. |
|
Class C Fires Fires where electricity is present like in your engine or dashboard. |
|
Class K Fires Grease and cooking oils that can spread fire around if you do not use a K extinguisher. |
Element Fire Extinguishers Save Your Car's Value
With no messy powder or corrosive discharge, Element puts fire out without extinguisher damage. You have meticulously sourced the right parts, installed the right components and maintained all the systems perfectly. You don't want a large bulky fire extinguisher to detract from any of the details. Element is so small, it's only 10.75" long, 1.2" in diameter and only weighs ½ a pound! This way you can have an extinguisher close at hand without drawing attention away from the beauty of your machine.
Protect everything you love during a fire emergency by keeping Element close at hand.

"Element saved my tail! I was driving my 1957 Chevy truck when I smelled smoke. Pulled over, lifted the hood and saw flames behind the block. I grabbed the Element, ignited it within seconds and put the fire out." |
"The love of classic cars. I worry about a gasoline fire under the hood on my beauties, a typical fire extinguisher rolling around or having to drill mounting holes was just as distasteful. The magnetic clip holds these very well, peace of mind and no holes." |
"Worked like a charm! I was driving behind an F150 on the freeway and watched the underside engulf in flames. His extinguisher wasn’t working sadly but thankfully the Element extinguisher did!" |
