A while back I had a wire short out on my engine in my '88 GL and set
some rubber on fire. Not much of a fire but my little Halon 1211 hand
extinguisher did the trick. Of course I can't replace that extinguisher.
I think I am am going to go the way of GMBulley...and get a CO2
Extinguisher. Does a good job of taking the oxygen away as well as cools
things below the point of combustion.

BTW, the new engine is getting all new injection plumbing. Definitely
want to avoid any fires back there.
