Will a Fire Extinguisher Explode if Kept in a Car?
1 Answers
Car fire extinguishers will not explode when kept in a vehicle. Here are the relevant details: 1. Types of fire extinguishers: There are several main types of car fire extinguishers on the market, including dry powder extinguishers, ultra-fine dry powder extinguishers, carbon dioxide extinguishers, and water-based extinguishers. However, dry powder extinguishers are the most commonly used. These contain dry powder along with carbon dioxide and nitrogen, making them stable and safe regardless of whether they are placed horizontally or vertically. 2. Expiration date: Fire extinguishers produced by reputable manufacturers are safe to keep in a car and are not prone to explosion. However, they should be kept away from high temperatures or direct sunlight to avoid potential hazards. Car owners should also pay attention to the expiration date of the extinguisher and stop using it once it expires.
