When you go looking for Fire Extinguishers.
i found the people who service the Fire Extinguishers some times have them
cheap.
Meaning less then a new one. I bought one from a service and it works well.
I am not sure what type chemical it was loaded with.
I did tell them i wanted it for a car & they sold me one for that use.
I remember at the time he said not all were good for cars.
Some leave a residue & others will cause a toxic reaction.

We used em at the race track to spray on and in the clutch when we thought it
was slipping.
