Topic heading hoping to get more views

Its time to get hold of your dry powder fire extinguisher and check the pressure gauge and then turn it upside down and give it a good old shake up, if its not done regularly the powder will settle and not do the job when needed

cheers

blaze

ps boats and 4x4's need more frequent shaking upside down

 Thaks for the tip and reminder Blaze.

We have three extinguishers in the boat and two in the caravan and one in the tow vehicle, all of these have NEVER been turned.

Thanks for that Blaze, hadn't thought of it myself either. Also a good time to show all traveling in the van the instructions & usage of it once again.

Cheers

Jon
