Hi All,

I had a look at CO2 but these things are really expensive (150,-
euro).
The ones containing powder do more harm then good, the engine has to
be taken apart for inspection after using one of those.
Has anybody other suggestions?

Difficult question...

The dry powder ("Ansul Powder" is the name I know) is unequaled in
fighting petroleum fed fires. Decades ago, I worked at a tank farm
with ~40 million gallons of gasoline, butane & fuel oil, and they
were the only thing acceptable. One man with a 20# bottle could
eaily put out a 25 ft dia fire with 6+ ft flames. [Annual training..]

[We also had 250# bottles on wheels and 8000 gallons of 2% foam.
Any fire anywhere near needing such would have me running a 3 minute
mile.]

But, Ansul Powder does so at the expense of ruining what it saves.
The baked on mess it leaves is sure death for any electronics and
moving parts.

So, I'd have one in the hanger, and at the fuel pump.
But on board? See the last thread about NOT deploying the Cirrus
chute because.....
