Not really... the whole underside is open... and halon flows down and out...
not to mention the draft from the wind when moving...

You're welcome to install what ever you want... but the fires are due to
fuel hitting the hot exhaust pipes... perhaps halon will put it out, but
after it blows away the fire will start again so make sure you carry a
conventional fire extinguisher too
