I'm no firefighter or expect on the subject, but I disagree. The more the better when it comes to trying to suppress a fire.
You may want to check the type of that extinguisher. Dry chemical extinguishers, while better than nothing, will make a serious mess of a car. The chemicals are corrosive.
Halotron based extinguishers, designed for automotive use, are considered "clean" in comparison and more effective. Halguard is the popular brand you often see.
The Element "flare" style extinguishers are the next iteration; smaller size, longer run time.
Regardless, I hope to never use any of them.
