Extinguishers
A fire extinguisher isn't really a tool, but it's a must for
your vehicle. Get th 2Y4-pound dry chemical type.
An engine fire won't necessarily ruin your car - if you can
extinguish it quickly. A gasoline leak can be ignited by a
stray spark from your spark pli wires. The resulting fire
looks awful, but it's really burning on the outside a your
engine. If you put it out quickly, your vehicle may suffer
little or no damage.
Cigarette
butts can also land on your backseat, causing a fire, and
fires cW caused by ruptured fuel lines, flooded carburetors,
and faulty wiring as wi so an inexpensive fire extinguisher
may not only save you money; it may a save your life. If the
flames are anywhere near the fuel tank, forget the hey ics;
just run for it and throw yourself to the ground if you think
that the tai may explode.
Because your fuel tank is located right under your trunk compartment,
kei your extinguisher under the front seat of your car, in
a suitable bracket the will prevent it from rolling under
the pedals when you stop the car.
Funnels
You use funnels to fill your radiator, add oil, and add transmission
fluid to your car. Steal a large one from the kitchen, or
buy one at an auto supply or hardware store. Either metal
or plastic is fine. Just be sure to clean it thor¬oughly
after each use.
Some automotive funnels come with a short hose attached so
that you can insert the hose directly into a narrow opening
in a space that's too small for the funnel to fit into.
