Subject:OT: (slightly) fire extinguishers
From:Harry Hoffman <hhoffman@IP-SOLUTIONS.NET>

Hi All,

So, with the overflow of gas that came out of the filler I was reminded
that I didn't have a fire extinguisher in the bus.

I promptly went out and bought one (auto/marine rated) and now feel a
little bit safer. But it lead me to a couple of questions.

1) These extinguishers are rated for 6yrs, but I don't see a
manufacturer's date on it. There's a '07 stamped on the bottom, should I
assume that's 2007? If so, I guess that means I got ripped off of
3yrs :-(

2) Does cold storage (say in a van parked outside during the winter)
affect the usability of the extinguisher?

Cheers,
Harry
