Mike -

Here would be my suggestions:

If the gas tank is completely closed off from the trunk, AND there is no gas tank filler neck routed thru your trunk, then I would not put a nozzle in the trunk, or under the trunk on the tank. If there is a filler neck routed thru your trunk (with joints and hose connections), then I think I'd put a nozzle in there.

If you do not need to use a nozzle in the trunk, then I would consider a second nozzle for interior (passenger). I think I would forego the "on/off" switch for it. Any additional Halon introduced into the compartment should improve your chances of getting out before getting seriously burned. I am using only one nozzle in the interior, aimed between driver and passenger.

I am using a 10# bottle in my car. Someplace I saw a recommendation that there should be a bottle for EACH zone protected in the car (i.e., one for engine compartment, one for interior). I have selected a single 10# bottle based on mostly street use, and only a few track events. If I were going to do a lot more track events, I'd consider having separate bottles for other zones.
