Under pressure, there's a good volume of fuel exiting even a pin hole. Element = highly recommended. My advice is to get 3 of them and use one to see how it works. Seems like a waste but point is: knowing what to expect of this extinguisher should it be needed is priceless. Element's are not particularly good on an open fire. But a fire in an enclosed space like our engine bays... terrific. There is some discharge residue but it's inconsequential given the mess made from the melting insulation.

I've heard a lot of good about Element.
I have had those on my Pelicanparts shopping basket few times, BUT no shipping options to Europe
Does anyone know any European source for Element?
I have understood that they are made in Italy but I have not able find Italian webshop for those
