I am installing a fire system for driver safety only. I might add another bottle at a later date for extinguishing a under hood fire.

My question is, what is the best place to locate the discharge nozzles? The system came with two nozzles. I'm thinking under the dash bar pointed up at the driver for one of them, but where to mount the other? Maybe pointed down toward the feet? It is a Firebottle brand, FE-36 unit.

look in the rule book. it will tell you where to mount them. on my car one is mounted on the firewall pointing down at the drivers side and the other one is on the other side pointing at the motor. the newer systems have it plumbed back to the kill switch to a valve to shut the car off also.

I put them one at the driver's feet, pointed back towards the driver, then two in the engine bay. I would contact Firebottle and get one more nozzle, and be done with it.

I have one I need to put in too....I want to mount the bottle in the trunk though (street car)...so I need to figure out how to run a cable back to it the full length of the car.
