From the video - it looks like gravity is helping out a bit -

And they deploy with the help of a fuse.  [ baking soda bomb]

Also - from their placement recommendations - it does not look like

The device has a wide area of coverage.  So side mounting is out.

If they indeed can withstand the engine heat - then it looks like placing

Them directly underneath the engine lid above both fuel rails / exhaust

pipes  and one Above the fuel pressure regulator ???
