Regulations on the weight of fire extinguishers on cars Besides the type, the weight of fire extinguishers for cars also has many different weights and capacities. Take for example: Mini fire extinguishers with types: 500 ml, 1,000 ml... Medium-sized fire extinguishers with types: 1 kg, 2 kg... Large fire extinguishers with types: 4 kg, 6 kg... This weight cannot be chosen arbitrarily but depends on the specific vehicle type. Specifically, vehicle owners are equipped with fire extinguishers with weight or capacity according to the corresponding regulations as follows: Cars from 4 to 9 seats: Choose 1 tank under 4 kg or under 5 liters (can be omitted because current law is not required). Cars with 10 - 15 seats: Choose a tank weighing from 4 kg - 6 kg (or from 5 liters - 9 liters). Cars from 16 - 30 seats: Choose 2 tanks including 1 tank under 4 kg (or under 5 liters) and 1 tank from 4 kg - 6 kg (or from 5 liters - 9 liters). Cars with over 30 seats: Need 3 tanks including 1 tank under 4 kg (or under 5 liters) and 2 tanks from 4 kg - 6 kg (or from 5 liters - 9 liters). Do not leave the fire extinguisher in high temperature places If the ambient temperature is high and exceeds the fire extinguisher's limit, it will cause the volume of fire extinguishing agent in the tank to increase, causing a serious fire and explosion. Therefore, be careful not to place the fire extinguisher in places with high temperatures or places susceptible to direct sunlight such as dashboards, trays/storage compartments in the front seat area. This is intended to ensure maximum safety.

Place fire extinguishers within reach of the driver

Fire extinguishers need to be placed in the closest places within reach of the driver so that they can be handled as quickly as possible if a fire accidentally occurs. Specifically, according to advice from Volvo, the ideal location for a fire extinguisher in a car is under the driver's seat or in the footrest of the passenger seat (the passenger seat is right next to the driver's seat). Fire extinguishers should not be placed in the footrest of the driver's seat because it will cause trouble when controlling the accelerator/brake/clutch, making it more dangerous.

Limit moving fire extinguishers in the vehicle

During the process of preserving the fire extinguisher, limit moving the fire extinguisher to different locations. In case it is necessary to relocate, do so gently, avoid strong impact because it can cause the pressure in the tank to increase, easily causing a strong fire or explosion inside the vehicle.

Some notes when using car fire extinguishers

- When spraying a fire extinguisher, you should stand at least 1 meter away from the fire to ensure safety. At the same time, you should stand in the direction of the wind because borrowing the force of the wind will help the fire be extinguished faster.

- In case the fire extinguisher is gasoline and oil, do not spray the fire extinguisher in one place but spray around it so that the fire extinguisher covers the entire fire extinguisher.

- Immediately after purchasing a fire extinguisher, the car owner should try spraying a little first to test the extinguisher and understand how to use it.

- Pay attention to the expiration date and condition of the fire extinguisher. Specifically, powder fire extinguishers usually have a shelf life of 5 years. CO2 gas tanks depend on the amount of gas left inside the tank, which can be checked by weighing the tank's weight.
