Ken,
I have two fire extinguishers in my 90 Syncro Westy... gasoline engine...

One at the original stock location on the post behind the driver's seat...
it's an ABC type figuring it could be used for the camper cabinest, seats,
etc., or the engine,

One mounted on the sink cabinet behind the driver's seat... it's a BC type
figuring it would be the first one that I would reach for in the event of an
engine fire.

I think both are 2 or 3 lb size... and both were purchased at a shop that
specializes in commercial quality fire extinguishers... refillable types and
they came with mounting hardward... much better that the K Mart types.
