My engine compartment is protected well with 2 outlets and 6 nozzle angles from the front and down both sides of the intake manifold. I have another outlet under the dash with 3 nozzle angles spraying the under dash electrics and the driver's foot well. A typical fire of major concern would be, a ruptured under hood fuel line. If the halon doesn't knock it down then there's always the hand-held extinguisher in the trunk.

Easy of access is the major reason mine went on the dash, other than the fuzzy dice

My 2 cents.....

You better be able to reach that handle in any situation and you better have a 10 lb canister with all those nozzles....otherwise what is the point?

under the dash in my old FIA...
