After all the engine fire horror stories, I asked Nautical Fire
Suppression Ltd.
(www.nauticalfire.com) for a quote on a DIY installation kit for a
Vanagon engine compartment assuming that we got 50 folks together (big
assumption, I know).  Their response:

     Thank you for visiting our web site, the following is the requested
price for an Aero-K fire
     system to protect the engine compartments. I have also attached
some information.

     Each System Includes:
          1 - SP-1 Control Panel
          1 - G-100 Aero-K Units
          1 - Mounting Brackets
          13' - Thermal Sensing Cable
          1 - Junction Box
          12' - Thermal Cable
          1 - Warning Sign
          1 - Shipping
 
     Total Price $ 1,075. US
     Price based on order of 50 systems.
     Pre-payment by check or Visa card
     Delivery 5 weeks.

Prevention (new hoses and clamps) still seems the most cost effective
route.

FWIW.
