We keep one in all our vehicles...even if you don't have to use it on your rig you could come up on an accident where someone is trapped in a burning car.

We had a extinguisher demo at work the other day and anyone who has ever shot one knows they dont last as long as ya think, we had to put out a 2'x2' gas fire for the demo and the fullsize tank was shot after 3 small fires, I have a small one in the rig but might spend the cash and get a fullsize one just in case

If you can, get a dry chemical extinguisher. It's a good one for engine fires. Otherwise make sure your extinguisher is ABC rated. I keep 2 in my truck. A dry chem as well as an ABC.  a=f

I mounted mine right in between the 2 front seats. where the center console would be.

Where ever you mount them, make sure you have quick access to it. If a fire starts, you don't want to have to go to the back, open a hatch, move all the junk and then get to the extinguisher. Mine is right inside  the drivers door on the floor next to my seat. The big extinguisher is behind my seat. Either way I have quick access. Hope it helps!  a=f
