Nor should you, it didn't go off in at least one fire I discussed in Feb.
It'd be easy to install a small video camera at the front of the engine bay...
More likely to let you know somethings wrong.
Paul Mander had this setup in his ASH-25J, but obviously it wasn't enough.
An inerting system is a great idea, except the airflow through the engine bay...
I don't know if there's a really good solution.
Fires are bad.
