I set off 5 lb. of Halon in a 32 5 window, perhaps this explains my current 
thought patterns. But we also used Halon for onboard engine fires at United 
Air Lines and in the computer room. The bottle room guys who maintained such 
things told me there were many grades of halon and 1301 which is used for 
enclosed areas was not toxic. It did displace Oxygen so you can't breathe it 
for long.                                               It dose make a lot of 
frost and cool things somewhat. As for Mike Cooks Vega, His fire system got 
him out in good shape. The car as I heard it had quite abit of    magnesium 
in it and as I remember it they used every fire bottle on the lake and the 
car still burned to the ground.

really want to build a roadster?   Rich Fox
