I believe the old Halon gas extinguishers are no longer available due to EPA=
 restrictions. They have developed a similar product that IS available.

https://www.summitracing.com/parts/htr-hg100c

It uses =E2=80=9CHalotron=E2=80=9D gas whatever that is but operates on the s=
ame principle. Different sizes and colors are available from Summit=E2=80=A6=
others also I am sure. Not cheap.

I did go with the ELEMENT extinguisher. Tests appear to show it is effective=
 and uses a gas to smother fire=E2=80=A6so no mess. More easily stowed and 1=
/3 the price of the Halotron extinguisher. Also available from Summit.

I would shop around. summit price is among highest.

Hope this helps.
