Blaze Cut

I know there has been many discussions about the BlazeCut product.

Just wondering if anyone purchased it and have any photos they can share.

Trying to decide between the 6 foot or 9 foot, leaning towards the 9 foot.

Thanks for sharing your experiences and photos on this.

Maybe you've already seen these, but this guy installed his in a coil over the engine (he later said he'd loosened it more): http://dmctalk.org/showthread.php?13659-Another-DeLorean-Fire!&p=197273&viewfull=1#post197273

I just did mine in a simple C-shape. http://dmctalk.org/showthread.php?14384-BlazeCut-(automatic-fire-suppressor)-installation&p=207724&viewfull=1#post207724

I think I have the 6'. It didn't flex a lot so the C was easiest.

Looking at some video's on you tube yesterday I was wondering how effectif the blaze cut would be on a Delorean. All the cars in the video's have a closed hood, so the gas is forced to to down towards the flames. The D has a lot of openings in the engine cover so the pressure/ gas from the blaze cut can go out the wrong direction.
But it is probably better to have a blaze cut intalled then not having one.
I had never seen or heard of a blaze cut and it looks like they come from east europe, but they are just not for sale in my country.

Can anyone with a blazecut tell me what psi their gauge reads? Mine seems to be creeping towards 0!

Mine's in Vegas but I'll check on Monday and report back (if I'm not out partying, LOL).

0 when cold, more when the engine is warm.

Thanks! I was hoping it was normal and not something wrong instead.

Just checked mine and it's close to 0 after a few hours in the parking garage. (50F/7C outside). If it's in the green range it should be OK but according to their Amazon page if it's actually on 0 it should be replaced. https://www.amazon.com/BlazeCut-Automatic-Suppression-Automotive-Extinguisher/dp/B00KA9OUFM


It is recommended to check the functionality of the system by a simple pressure check: The system is under pressure and functional when the pressure indicator is above the value of 0 bar. The pressure indicator will change depending on the ambient temperature, the pressure at 20 Celsius is approximately 2 bar, and the pressure at 90 Celsius is approximately 10 bar. The system cannot slowly leak down or loose pressure like a conventional fire extinguisher. If the gauge is at zero, or you cannot see an air bubble in the line, the system is empty and should be replaced.
