PETROL FIRE TEST

PETROL FIRE TEST

This video shows an Element E50 fire extinguisher tackling an outdoor gasoline fire. One interesting thing to note is that this is a liquid fire is burning in a round bottomed bowl. 

In addition to demonstrating the effectiveness of Element, this test also shows how Element’s ‘no-thrust’ discharge does not spread the liquid (as most often seen in cooking pan fires in the kitchen).

Had this been a traditional pressurized extinguisher, the discharge jet would have blown the liquid out of the bowl causing a large fire ball.
