We blew an oil line on our race car in an endurance race. This was the line from the scavenge pump to the oil cooler (full circulation system) and of course it blew right above the left heat exchanger. The driver dumped the halon system and put it out immediately with no further damage. On hour later, after a trip to a nearby hydraulic shop, we were back in the race.

Halon fire systems are awesome!
